Why would a woody vine found in the rainforest have roots in the ground and then grow up high into the treetops before sprouting leaves? a. to capture more water b. to increase light exposure c. to stabilize the tree

The vine would grow upwards B. to increase light exposure. In rain forests, the canopy is very dense. This means that the amount of sunlight falling on the forest floor is not significant. Therefore, vines have adapted to climb vertical surfaces during their growth and attain greater heights in order to receive sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
