(04.02 LC) Which biome typically has shallow root vegetation, such as small shrubs, but no trees that can withstand permafrost? Orasslands O Temperate shrubland OTropical rainforest OTundra

The tundra biome is known for its harsh, cold conditions and the presence of permafrost, which prevents the deep root growth of larger trees. Instead, this biome supports shallow-rooted vegetation such as small shrubs, mosses, and lichens, which are well adapted to survive in this extreme environment. In the tundra, the growing season is very short, often lasting only a few weeks in summer. During this time, plants grow quickly, taking advantage of the brief warmth and sunlight to produce flowers, seeds, and leaves. This adaptation allows them to thrive despite the severe limitations imposed by the cold climate and frozen ground.
