If we consider that an ECOSYSTEM is a tree, then the roots of an ecosystem are a soil and nutrients, air and water. All those elements forms our environment.

The branches of the tree are climate regulation, carbon capture and storage, as well as oxygen distribution. On the branches fruits are growing.
