The rootstalk split from its ancestor, the orange spore stalk. It is almost identical to its ancestor except its roots have grown bigger and poke up out of the soil. On the top of the root are little leaf buds. These collect sunlight.
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 rootstalk 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 rootstalk through the stem, making it moist to the touch and photosynthesis more efficient. It also has a special adaptation its roots can entangle with other rootstalks and make a huge massive web of the plants. This can keep them afloat when the marsh floods.
