Answer
The national tree of India is the Banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis). The Banyan tree is revered in Hinduism and has cultural and religious significance in Indian traditions. It is known for its vast canopy, which provides shade and shelter, and its aerial prop roots that grow into additional trunks. The Banyan tree is often considered a symbol of longevity and immortality.
In 1950, the Banyan tree was officially declared the national tree of India to represent the country's rich cultural and ecological heritage. The choice of the Banyan tree reflects its importance in Indian culture and its widespread presence across the country.
