Morus is a genus of flowering plants commonly known as mulberries. These trees are native to warm temperate and subtropical regions, and they produce small, sweet fruits that can be red, white, or black. Mulberries are not only enjoyed fresh but are also used in jams, jellies, and desserts. The leaves of the Morus tree are particularly important as they are the primary food source for silkworms, which are essential for silk production. In addition to their culinary uses, Morus trees have ecological benefits. They provide shade and habitat for various wildlife, and their deep roots help prevent soil erosion. The trees are also valued for their ornamental qualities, often planted in gardens and parks for their attractive foliage and fruit. Overall, Morus plays a significant role in both agriculture and the environment.
