An olive tree's secret to "immortality" lies in its ability to continuously sprout new shoots

An olive tree's secret to "immortality" lies in its ability to continuously sprout new shoots from an ancient root system, allowing the tree to persist even if the above-ground parts are damaged or die.

In ancient Greece, the olive tree was considered sacred and was associated with Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. Olive oil played a significant role in the ancient Greek economy and society and was used for both culinary and religious purposes.
The Athenians even had a law that required citizens to plant a certain number of olive trees each year.
