No, strangler figs do not die when their host tree dies. Instead, they continue to grow and develop independently, using the host tree as a trellis for support during their early stages of growth. Over time, the host tree will decompose, leaving behind the hollow infrastructure of the fig tree.
The strangler fig is called so because of its unique growth habit. It starts as a seed that germinates in the branches of a host tree, sending down roots that encircle and eventually envelop the host. As it grows, the strangler fig can outcompete and kill the host tree, effectively "strangling" it. This process can lead to the host tree's demise while allowing the fig to thrive, often resulting in a hollowed-out remnant of the original tree.
There are many names, but this is one of them. F. microcarpa.

No, the strangler fig tree cannot physically strangle a person. The name "strangler fig" refers to its growth habit, where the tree starts as an epiphyte, wrapping around a host tree and eventually outcompeting it for resources. While it can overwhelm and kill the host tree, its growth mechanism poses no threat to humans.
Either a monkey or a bird drops the seed of the strangler fig.
It climbs up it using its roots to get to sunlight in the canopy. Eventually the strangler fig tree will strangle the host tree to death and only the hollow strangler fig will be left.
when strangler figs emerge from the ground, tiny roots emerge with them, and grab the trunk of a nearby tree, cutting off its flow of nutrients. the strangler fig now no-longer has to compere with the other tree for its nutrients
Strangler figs are a type of fig tree that begin their life as epiphytes, germinating in the canopies of other trees. As they grow, they send down roots that eventually reach the ground, allowing them to absorb nutrients and water. Over time, these roots encase the host tree, which can lead to its decline and death as the strangler fig becomes dominant. The mature strangler fig then produces figs that attract birds and other animals, facilitating its reproduction and dispersal.

The insect that lays eggs in the strangler fig fruit is the fig wasp, particularly species from the family Agaonidae. Female fig wasps enter the fig's syconium, where they lay their eggs and pollinate the flowers inside. The relationship between fig wasps and fig trees is a classic example of mutualism, as the figs provide a habitat and food for the wasps, while the wasps facilitate the fig's reproduction.
Because it strangles a tree.
