A detailed illustration of a cross-section of two large trees with their roots merging underground, supporting five smaller trees, in a realistic scientific style.

A highly realistic cross-section illustration of two large trees shown from trunk to deep underground. Their underground roots merge into a single intertwined root system. From the fused central root network, five smaller young trees sprout upward between the two main trees. The soil layers are visible in cutaway view, showing texture, rocks, moisture, and fine details of root fibers. Lighting is natural and warm, with a scientific-illustration style that remains photorealistic. Emphasis on the interconnected root system and the five smaller trees growing from it. See more
