What unique properties do tree roots have?

I don't know the answer to this but here is one of the mound builder myths I found regarding the creation of the world where tree roots are an essential component:

• Version 15 — "a big stump" — the two vertical halves of a tree are, with respect to creation, isomorphic to one another. The living tree drops seeds from its branches to the ground below. It seeds the world below. The seedling continues to create from top to bottom by sinking roots. In Hočąk, the word for root, rejų́, also metaphorically denotes descendants, exemplifying a descending pattern of creation. The rejų́na reveal that the Road of Life and Death is not horizontal, but vertical. Thus the stump, which is mainly roots, replaces in function Earthmaker's legs, symbolizing the vertical route by which the creative force travels. The upper body of Earthmaker replaces the upper part of the tree. He then assumes the creative role of the upper branches of the tree which create by dropping seeds through the air until they reach their destination below. Like a tree which drips water long after the rain has ceased, Earthmaker's first creative act is to drip water. The seed of humans is a liquid that is expelled from an "eye," and is therefore homologous to tears. Human reproduction is most usually accomplished horizontally, but here again, we see the creative process transformed into the vertical dimension. The penis itself is like a tree, and its base contains the germinal descendants or "roots." Inasmuch as Earthmaker is seated, it rests upon the tree's roots, as it does metaphorically. Water, which nourishes those roots, most often falls from above to reach trees. Water is the first element in this scheme of creation, since it is inherently vertical in its motion — water never runs uphill, but always seeks the lowest point, ever traveling from above to below. The divine purpose of creative fluid such as semen is to create the social world, to repopulate society. Thus, the creative water appears from Earthmaker's upper eyes because he is alone and would wish to generate a world peopled with creatures who will to some degree perpetuate his own nature. It is consciousness of an unpopulated world that is the direct cause of the very first act of creation. Earthmaker becomes a kind of immobile tree, his upper body replaces the missing upper portion of the tree. However, the lower portion of the tree is dead. Earthmaker seemingly "pops" into existence from an unknown origin. The trunk of his body becomes the trunk of a dead tree, causing half the tree to live again in a different form. This new upper tree, which is Earthmaker, emerges ex nihilo from its dead base. This images the homology in which ex nihilo creation is like life emerging from non-life. The question, "Where does life come from?" is answered by analogy: life from non-life is like existence from non-existence. Furthermore, awakening, which is emerging from unconsciousness to consciousness, is also the same as life from non-life, and something from nothing. Earthmaker seated on the stump is also an image of society with respect to its own regeneration. The primary division of society into the Upper and Lower Moieties is based upon exogamy, which is to say, upon reproduction, the fundamental social creative act: all marriage is between an Upper Moiety person and a Lower Moiety mate. Earthmaker, a sky god homologous to the upper portion of trees that extend themselves into the sky, is the counterpart of the Upper Moiety. Hence, the stump is the Lower Moiety. The sky god's genitals rest upon the symbol of the Lower Moiety which is an image of the union of the two moieties in marriage. The Upper Moiety's descendants, its "roots," all derive from the Lower Moiety. They form its base and support. It is the means by which the Upper Moiety travels through time. Which of them came first? Was the stump there before Earthmaker sprang into existence, or did everything present with Earthmaker in the beginning suddenly appear with him as a group? It is impossible to say.

Ugh. I was afraid of that. STL just got a little less comfy.

I know water can act as a quantum computer.

Don’t know the answer to the other two questions, aside from water spirits getting sacrifices of hair from young people and animals in Greece.
