The '''piloroot''' replaced its ancestor in the [[Kenotai River|Kenotai]] and [[Terra River]]s. The creatures that ate the [[ripocaca]] for its distinct taste led to a pressure for a more intensely flavored fruit. Usually this was when the fruits had not ripened fully, and were still small. However, the seeds would not have fully developed yet. So, the flora with faster ripening fruits managed to successfully reproduce. In the same vein, the roots grew larger, and have numerous root hairs, which can detach and become its own plant. This was to hold it down in the muddy banks of the two rivers. The fruit structure also reflects a river habitat in that they are now hollow, allowing them to float on the river, and not sink and rot. The seeds line the inside. The leaves of the piloroot are longer than its ancestor, allowing for more sunlight to reach its leaves. They also have developed "fur" on its leaves, which help maintain its moisture balance, and to augment its sunlight intake. Some creatures also use the leaves as a sleeping area. |

The piloroot replaced its ancestor in the Kenotai and Terra Rivers. The creatures that ate the ripocaca for its distinct taste led to a pressure for a more intensely flavored fruit. Usually this was when the fruits had not ripened fully, and were still small. However, the seeds would not have fully developed yet. So, the flora with faster ripening fruits managed to successfully reproduce. In the same vein, the roots grew larger, and have numerous root hairs, which can detach and become its own plant. This was to hold it down in the muddy banks of the two rivers. The fruit structure also reflects a river habitat in that they are now hollow, allowing them to float on the river, and not sink and rot. The seeds line the inside. The leaves of the piloroot are longer than its ancestor, allowing for more sunlight to reach its leaves. They also have developed "fur" on its leaves, which help maintain its moisture balance, and to augment its sunlight intake. Some creatures also use the leaves as a sleeping area.
