How and what does a redwood tree eat?

Redwood trees, like all trees, do not "eat" in the traditional sense; instead, they produce their own food through photosynthesis. They absorb sunlight through their leaves, using it to convert carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into glucose and oxygen. The glucose serves as energy for growth and development, while the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere. Nutrients from the soil, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are also absorbed through the roots to support their overall health.
