In [[botany]], '''trunk''' refers to the main structural member of a [[tree]] that is supported by and directly attached to the [[root]]s and which in turn supports the [[branch]]es. The trunk is also often called the '''bole'''. The trunk is covered by the [[bark]], which is an important diagnostic feature in tree identification, and which often differs markedly from the bottom of the trunk to the top, depending on the species. The trunk, or bole, is the most important part of the tree for [[timber]] production.<br />
