yes the tree trunk is indeed living object....it supports the complete food system of the tree....it functions in getting the water from the roots to the leaves and vice versa it does the same for the nutrition also.....

if a tree trunk is not living you can tell it by the condition of the particular tree its leaves will get yellow in color and later on the tree will be naked i.e without the leaves

Why does the pine tree have a thick bark?

Bark is the outer layer of the living tissue of the tree. As the living layer grows it pushes the bark layer to the outside, which stretches and cracks the bark. Bark protects the tree from things that would harm the living tissue of the tree. Dangers include pests such as beetles and termites, and the heat from fires. Bark also slows the evaporation from the living tissues that would make the sap too thick to travel down to the roots. Without bark, many trees could not survive in the hot, cold, pest infested areas that they live in.
