81: Baobab
Baobab trees, also known as the "trees of life," are striking giants that dominate the African landscape with their unique barrel-like trunks and sprawling branches. These ancient marvels can live for thousands of years, standing as symbols of resilience and adaptability in harsh environments. The baobab tree is not only a natural wonder but also a vital resource, as every part of it serves a purpose, from providing nutritious fruit rich in vitamin C to bark that can be woven into ropes and clothing.
