Learning using a Root System

Another metaphor to appreciate Zoetics and Zoescope ...

You can think of the Z visuals as part of a root system of a tree. The
big roots provide secureness and the little roots grab the nutrients
and water as they pass by in the soil.

As we learn, we need big roots to hold onto what we know and do, we
need little roots to capture what we are learning and receiving.

Instead of seeing information as water flowing through a pipe, and it
just blasting past us, if we use Zoetics and Zoescopes as "root"
systems, it gives us another opportunity to catch good information and
knowledge as it passes by.

Tree Root Systems

Tree roots serve a variety of functions for the tree. Roots absorb and
transfer moisture and minerals as well as provide support for the
above ground portion. There are two basic types of roots, woody and
nonwoody.

Nonwoody roots are found mostly in the upper few inches of soil. The
primary function of these roots is to absorb water and nutrients.

Woody roots are large lateral roots which form near the base of root
and stem (the root collar). The primary purpose of these roots is
support and anchorage for the tree. They also provide water and
mineral transport as well as carbohydrate storage.
