Hanging Roots dangle from rooted dirt, hinting at a lush cave below.

It can be composted: each one has a 30% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

They grow under Rooted Dirt, also when you use bone meal on it, and drop only with shears. They can hold water and add an organic touch to cave ceilings.
