The giant sequoia tree is one of the largest trees on earth. It starts as a small seedling and grows into an enormous tree. Five children can stretch their arms across the width of the truck of one of the large sequoia trees! Where did most of the MATTER that makes up the wood and leaves of this huge tree originally come from? Circle the best answer.
