Socratea exorrhiza

It’s called a Walking Palm Tree because it does actually walk. When it chooses a location to go towards, it grows new roots in that direction and lets the trailing roots die back. This continues inch by inch, and it can travel up to twenty feet in a year.

nostr:npub1sr773du95kdd95ajltqq2w4rlfhljuxmtet56e7g9yg0jfmrj3sshzxfhg that's how it actually work step by step, so it's more like falling down and growing back up than walking. And frankly many trees can do that, only that not many have root system making it common occurrence
