Ficus benghalensis produces propagating roots which grow downwards as aerial roots.
Once these roots reach the ground they grow into woody trunks.

The figs produced by the tree are eaten by birds such as the Indian myna.
Fig seeds that pass through the digestive system of birds are more likely to germinate and sprout earlier.
