kcomeauDescripción
I believe this is a Strangler Fig Tree, belonging to the Moraceae family. A Strangler Fig Tree develops from having a sticky seed attach to another tree branch where long roots develop. These roots descend down the trunk of the host tree, dig into the soil, and enclose the host’s trunk. The roots of the fig tree lace together around the host’s trunk, which usually kills the host tree. If the process of the interwoven roots does not kill the host tree, it will still eventually rot away, leaving behind the fig tree. The roots of the fig tree appear to be a trunk.
