That is why insects can eat it, the very trunk of a tree, or a plant, is the body itself, and then the soul is in the root, you have probably seen the man on which a tree grows, it is the same protein, and the roots of trees, and plants, talking to each other, it is a kind of vein from which all life originates, a kind of consciousness from which everything that lives comes, a bit like the tree of life in avatar, it is wiser than all life, since it has been here the longest, rages comes and goes, but this vein is there all the time, trees, and plants, you feel it when you, for example, cut off branches, but it's a bit like when a cat bites the neck of a mouse, the pain is muted so you feel almost nothing , numbed in a way, if one misbehaves, for example, then trees and plants will pick it up, and then the birds sit on branches and sing so all the animals hear it too, influenced by the tree it sits on, it's quite really cool
