Fuzzstalk

The fuzzstalk replaced its ancestor the orange spore stalk on Huggs-Yokto savanna. It is almost identical to its ancestor except for many small spines all over its stem. These spines are used to protect it during the dry season of the savanna. There are also many herbivores that may want to eat it. Having the spikes helps fend them off.Their spores which are still spread by the wind and are still kept inside a chamber placed on top of its stalk which is opened once the chamber is filled with spores. The spores can form thick orange clouds able to choke small animals like its ancestor before it, only, the fuzzstalk is even more numerous and the spores can choke bigger animals. Their roots drink water preventing it from drying out and also to cool down the cell`s in its body, the water will leave the fuzzstalk through the stem, making it moist to the touch and photosynthesis more efficient. It also has a special adaptation, its roots can store up water during the dry season. If it gets too dry it will loose its stem completely and thus regrow from its bulb-like root base.
