English: A diagram illustrating how the stilt roots of Socratea exhorriza allow it to right itself after other plants collapse on top of it. 1 - the palm is growing normally. 2 - a tree collapses onto the palm and flattens the stem. 3 - new stilt roots form along the old stem and the original roots (dashed lines) start to die. 4 - the palm continues to grow normally but has now moved away from where it originally germinated.
