Take a journey back to roughly 400 million years ago, when towering protaxites dominated landscapes of tiny plants. Once misidentified as trees or fungi, new evidence now hints at a completely novel kind of life—a mega rhizomorph that moved nutrients and helped seed the rise of forests. This episode revisits the mystery, the old isotopic puzzles, and the latest Science Advances findings that upend what we thought we knew about early terrestrial ecosystems.
