Teak trees (Tectona grandis) exhibit several adaptations that enable them to thrive in tropical environments. Their thick, leathery leaves help reduce water loss through transpiration, while their tall, straight trunks allow them to compete for sunlight in dense forests. Additionally, teak wood is naturally resistant to pests and decay, thanks to its high oil content, which enhances its durability and suitability for outdoor use. These adaptations make teak trees well-suited for both their native habitats and commercial forestry.

Yes, teak trees have dicot stems. Dicot stems are characterized by vascular bundles arranged in a ring, while monocot stems have scattered vascular bundles. Teak trees belong to the dicot class of plants, which includes trees, shrubs, and flowering plants.
Teak trees can be affected by various pests and herbivores, including insects like bark beetles and caterpillars, which feed on their leaves and bark. Larger animals such as deer and goats may also browse on young teak shoots. Additionally, certain fungi and microbes can contribute to the degradation of teak trees by breaking down their wood and roots. Overall, while teak trees are relatively resilient, they are not immune to various forms of feeding pressure.
