This life form is characterized by many trunks extending from a common base, which is located underground or at the very surface. Each stem lives only 10 years, but new ones grow to replace it, so the plants live for a long time. Height from 1 meter and above. Name this plant life form.
Trees fit this description. Trees have a main trunk from which others branch off. They are updated periodically. How often new stems will appear depends on the specific species and environmental conditions. A person often cuts down old tree trunks. So new ones grow, the quality of the fruits improves, and so on. There is a supply of organic matter in the trunks, the xylem sap moves through the wood and a number of other processes take place. The age of the trunk can be determined by the number of rings.
