Learn how baobab trees soak up and save water during the rainy season to survive in the dry season, explained in a simple and fun way for kids aged 7.
Hello! Let's talk about a really special tree called the baobab. During the rainy season, when it rains a lot, the baobab tree drinks up lots of water, almost like a sponge soaking up water after a bath.
The baobab has a very thick trunk, which acts like a big water bottle. It stores all the water it collects during the rain. Its top is small with only a few leaves, so it doesn't lose much water. This helps the tree keep the water safe.
When the dry season comes and there is not much water or rain, the baobab uses the water it saved in its trunk to live and stay healthy. That way, it never gets thirsty, even when there is no rain!
Isn't that amazing? The baobab tree is like a water superhero in the forest!
