The term "Sequoia" primarily refers to a genus of trees known for their impressive height and longevity. These trees, including the Giant Sequoia and Coast Redwood, are among the tallest and oldest living organisms on Earth. They are native to the western United States and thrive in specific climates, often found in national parks like Yosemite and Sequoia National Park. Sequoias can grow over 300 feet tall and live for thousands of years. Their thick bark provides protection from fire and pests, making them resilient. These majestic trees play a crucial role in their ecosystems, providing habitat for various wildlife and contributing to carbon storage in the environment.
