Bark, Branches and roots.

Bark and Branches

The thick and coarse bark of the trees protect the trunk from heat and dryness during the dry season. The thick bark also helps the trees to withstand the extreme heat from natural forest fires which break out occasionally.

The branches of the trees of a tropical monsoon forest are located around the middle of the trunks, instead of near the top. As the trees grow less densely than in a tropical rainforest, sunlight is able to reach the lower parts of the forest.

Here are some example of thick bark and branches:

Roots

The trees have deep roots to tap water sources deep under the ground because rainfall is not regular throughout the year.
