Just wondering what the root system looks like for the trees. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Looks a lot like the top of the tree, just upside down.

It's a bunch of tree roots. Firewood buried underground. Sometimes it twists and turns a lot, but mostly, it looks like a bunch of branches heading towards the water. Sometimes you'll see roots on the surface poking up out of the grass. At the very tips of the roots, there are tiny microscopic nubs that collect water. In some species, fungus branches out to these, and the trees can get water from them, and give nutrients to the fungus just like it was more root.

The root system is the entire system of roots. In other words the ungrounded proton of the plant. You can get an idea of the size and shape of the root system by looking at the above ground portion of the plant. The root system usually mirrors that.

Diffrent trees have diffrent root bases. For instants a giant redwood has a very short ball of roots as does a palm tree. although most trees as a rule of thumb The root are equal to the tree.
