Binucleus Long-Root Crystal

The binucleus long-root crystal split from the binucleus hollow crystal. The long-root crystal now has two kinds of roots; ones that go into the ground to absorb water and roots that spread over land to find dead organisms or other plants. These last roots can grow to ten meters long and when it finds a dead organism or another plant it will start feeding off of it. On any place a root finds food, there will grow a new long-root crystal out off the root that is feeding. After the organism has been eaten the roots will die and the new long-root crystal will make its own roots. Because the mother crystal can't feed off dead organisms anymore thanks to this, she has grown a large, round solar panel to absorb more sunlight. It has also become much larger then its ancestor, and is now able to become 10 meters tall - this way it can absorb even more sunlight. The binucleus long-root crystal still uses spores to reproduce but because they also use their roots to reproduce they now live in much larger numbers.
