Half of Earth’s life may lie below land, sea

Scientists estimate that nearly half the living material on our planet is hidden in or beneath the ocean or in rocks, soil, tree roots, mines, oil wells, lakes and aquifers on the continents.
They call it the “subsurface biosphere,” a dark world where the sun and stars don’t shine. Some call it Earth’s basement.

I have had several pine trees cut down and have an oak tree who’s roots are above the ground. In addition to those roots, there are roots above the ground from the trees that has been removed.
I know that tree roots can be cut and boiled to eat, however if you cut the end of the root will it grow back?

I have always wanted to study art in college and have more recently (as I have learned more about life) realized that art school is basically an expensive way to become a waitress… So now I am considering a double major. I would like to major in Marketing and (insert studio art major) at the University of Mississippi. But I don’t know which studio art major would be best paired with marketing. My options are ceramics, graphic design, painting, photo/imaging arts, printmaking, and sculpture. If this is an unrealistic idea please offer another option.
