Banyan trees have a unique type of stem known as an aerial root system. These trees produce long, trailing roots that grow downwards from their branches and can penetrate the soil, allowing the tree to expand its canopy and support its large structure. This characteristic makes the banyan tree stand out among other tree species, as it can create a dense and complex network of trunks and branches. Additionally, the main trunk can be quite thick and robust, providing stability to the expansive tree.
A Banyan tree grows roots from its branches and trunks; these roots are called Aerial roots.
Banyan tree is called BARGAD KA PED in Hindi. here Banyan is called as Bargad.
The term "banyan fig" typically refers to the species Ficus benghalensis, which is a type of banyan tree known for its extensive aerial roots that develop into additional trunks, allowing it to spread widely. In contrast, "banyan tree" is a broader term that can refer to various species in the Ficus genus that exhibit similar growth characteristics. Essentially, while all banyan figs are banyan trees, not all banyan trees are banyan figs; the term can encompass other related species as well.
