Olvar

Within the legendarium, "Olvar" is J.R.R. Tolkien's word for flora; specifically for living things growing from the ground. 
Trees were apparently considered to be of the highest rank of Olvar. Living, faceless trees were Huorns, and the Ents were their appointed guardians.
==History==
The Olvar existed in the world since the Spring of Arda. Yavanna planted the seeds that would become the Olvar, but much of her work was marred by Melkor. With the unexpected creation of the Dwarves, Yavanna feared for the safety of trees, as the Dwarves would need their wood, and sought the advice of Manwë, who allowed many spirits to walk amongst them, giving rise to the Ents.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter II: "Of Aulë and Yavanna"
==Etymology==
Olvar is a Quenya word that meant 'growing things with roots in the ground'.The Complete Guide to Middle-earth
