Beneath the forest floor lies an web of fungal that scientists have come to call the 'wood wide web.' Through these mycorrhizal networks, trees exchange nutrients, water, and even chemical warnings about threats. A elder tree may quietly channel sugars to a struggling seedling in shade, its growth until it can fend for itself.

What appears to be a collection of individuals is, on closer inspection, a single interconnected organism.
