It is an underwater macroplant with several extensions that come from the same seed. It was found in Formentera and has over a hundred thousand years old.
A scientific study has determined the existence in Formentera, Spain, the living being that could be the largest in the world, a Posidonia oceanica eight kilometers long, the various plants from the same seed and same genetic individual.This is a study by Carlos Duarte, the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Study, Sophie Arnaud, University of Algarve, and Deudero Health, University of the Balearic Islands (UIB).
The discovery was made under the project "Conservation of seagrass meadows." Researchers say that grasslands are disappearing at a rate of one to two percent per year. What are seagrasses? They grow up to forty feet deep at sea and are characterized by the longest living plants on the planet, so some have more than one hundred thousand years old, an aspect that makes it difficult to regenerate because it requires time to grow.
