It's hollow, with many shoots connected via underground networks of roots, and with "grain" that rises vertically instead of horizontally as in trees.

I reasoned that it certainly wasn't getting energy from the sun as its leaves were tiny. But, I now think that maybe it is connected through a root system to larger shoots elsewhere, which do derive energy from the sun, and it gets its power from there. That said, it still demonstrates the power of life and its will to live.

That growth rate really is remarkable. I wonder if it can be used as a source of biofuel as well? That growth rate really is remarkable.
