Since elephants are so tall and high over the ground, trunks help them reach the ground and far above themselves for food in trees other animals cannot reach.
Also, they use their trunk like a water bottle, holding water to bring to their mouths. They have a separate network of passages to breath and a separate holding area. They can use their trunks to fight over a mate or an enemy, too. Elephants use their trunks to bring food to their mouth from high up in trees to as low as the ground. They use them to help their young as a balance beam and to draw, kiss, and hug.
Trunks are also used to push, pull, lift, signal, and shower.
