What the Cecropia Tree Does to Help Living Things
by:JayGould
The Cecropia tree is important because it makes a fruit that no other tree does.The Cecropia tree's ants are named nodes.The nodes eat the Cecropia's tree's fruit.The mealy bugs also live inside the tree.The mealy bugs eat the sap.The nodes chew on the leaves for there health.The nodes aslo eat seeds.The nodes have interdependence with the Cecropia tree.The nodes get a home and food.The Cecropia tree gets protection from the strangler fig if the strangler fig got on the tree would be smashed.When the queen ant is ready to lay her eggs she lays a wall after a month the eggs hatch and start exploring.The sloth can get up the tree because of his two laryers of hair.
