👉 Sarcopodium is a type of plant that grows in the soil under heavy rainfall, often found in arid regions or deserts. It is characterized by its thick, woody stems and leaves, which are covered in spines that serve as a defense mechanism against predators and parasites. Sarcopodiums are also known for their ability to produce large amounts of organic matter through photosynthesis, contributing significantly to the soil's carbon sequestration capacity.
