The fivekind spikeyshrub has evolved into deeper waters of the deadly salty BioCat River splitting from its ancestor taking over a new niche. Most of its body is underwater while its tips often come out slightly to the air. It has become much more advanced and now each colony organisms is made up of 5 different ball types that all can reproduce into a new shrub if they disconnect from the organism: The photocific balls, the crust balls, the flesh balls, the root balls and the salt balls. The photocific balls can be found at the top of the branches there they photosynthesis. All the ball parts can photosynthesis yet these cells have specialized this activity. They also contain large amounts of the chemicals used for osmosis of water to its top in order to get the parts outside of the water the water they need. The crust balls are the shell of the fivekind spikeyshrub and can be found at every part of it that touches the salty water. Its main purpose is protecting the shrub from the deadly salts and giving it a hard form. Each of these cells has a hair, that in its ancestor was a spike but now with no herbivores around has evolved to a new purpose. The hairs move constantly giving a new supplement of oxygen for the shrub by creating tiny vortexes. The flesh balls are the basic balls that make 90% of the plant and can change into each of the four other ball types. The root balls are used to root the plant down to the river floor and to gather all the needed nutrients including the salt for the rest of the shrub. The last are the salt balls, which are located at the middle of the shrub and are used both as a spine and the main osmosis organ of the shrub. In order to draw water to all of its parts the salt balls are filled with great amounts of salt and sometimes also chemicals that create a difference of concentrations that draws the water in.
