Question

How do tree roots help prevent soil erosion?

Answer

Tree roots create a large underground network that physically binds soil particles together, making them more resistant to being washed or blown away.

The roots act like natural anchors, holding the soil in place even during heavy rains or strong winds. Additionally, the root network improves soil structure by creating spaces for water infiltration and air circulation, making the soil more stable and less prone to erosion.
