Why is burning bush is not red?

The burning bush, often associated with the biblical story of Moses, is not literally red because the term "burning bush" refers to its appearance when it is on fire but not consumed by the flames. The plant, typically a type of thornbush, can have green or other natural colors. The "burning" aspect symbolizes divine presence and miraculous events rather than indicating the bush's actual color. Thus, the name reflects its extraordinary experience rather than its physical characteristics.
