Trees live underground and use the above-ground part as a snorkel.

I fucking guess

Trees’ brains (all plants’ brains, really) are in the very tips of their root systems, and if you compare them, the structures are very like the neural branching in animal brains. Trees don’t have skulls, like animals do, though, because their brains are protected by being underground. Meanwhile, they wave their pretty sex organs in breeze for everyone to enjoy.

Plants are my absolute favorite monsters. And trees are my favorite giants.
