“The source, white and wet,/The most sensitive, hidden/ For years inside the earth.”—How does the poet describe the source and its functions?

Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -“The source, white and wet,/The most sensitive, hidden/ For years inside the earth.”—How does the poet describe the source and its functions?

In ‘On Killing a Tree’ written by Gieve Patel, the source is described as ‘white and wet’, ‘most sensitive and hidden’. The source is ‘white’ as it does not get sunlight, ‘wet’ because it soaks water from the soil. The root is ‘sensitive because a slight attack to it can affect the tree and ‘hidden’ because it always remains under the soil.

The source or the root gives strength to a tree and supplies water and minerals to the other parts of a tree, thereby helping a tree in its survival.
