Hival Undertrees

On a world wracked by dangers such as the Hival Supercell, plantsmust develop unique methods of survival that may seem patently ridiculous to those accustomed to life on other planets. such is the case with Hival Undertrees, a bizarre variety of carnivorous plant found only on the wtorm-plagued world.
Hival Undertrees grow down, into the dirt, but for a few surface "roots" thatcarve out small paths in the surrounding area, and branches that weave themselves over the top of the tree. Underground, the actual tree forms as a meters-deep column, surrounded with roots sticking out into the soil, and encompassing a massive, hollow tube. The inside of this tube is lined with spikes that drip paralytic sap, and the bottom is filled with corrosive liquids to break down anything that falls in through the branches covering the entrance to serve as the tree's food.
Through a yet-unknown method, undertrees have proven to be able to filter out water from storms such as the Hival Supercell to prevent themselves from flooding and losing their prey, as the rushing waters tend to sweep gluts of food into the undertrees.
