Because its part of a bigger orginism that also had to bend to survive. If a tree were rigid and not able to bend, a strong wind or ice storm would injure or kill it. Having the ability to bend or be flexible allows it to sway with the wind. Its also another reason why some trees drop their leaves during the fall and winter. To protect the tree from wind damage.

Why doesn't light bend?

It can be "bent" by passing through a medium of varying density, such as the image of a bent stick placed in a glass of water. This is known as refraction, where the speed of light is slightly lower through water, tricking our eyes into seeing a bent stick. However, in very precise technical terms, light can actually be bent, as it is only radiation. Black holes bend light, which is literally why they are black. The light cannot escape the black holes super strong gravitational pull (If passing by, it may just bent.). The sun for instance, can bend light by 1/1000th of a degree, so tiny that when earth bends light, we may as well say it does not at all. That is why this question asks "Why doesn't light bend?".


A stick partly dipped in water appers broken due to?

the phenomenon of refraction. When light travels from one medium (such as air) to another medium with a different optical density (such as water), it changes speed and direction, causing the light rays to bend. This bending of light can make the stick appear broken or bent at the water's surface.

In a one piece stick what is the difference between a 140 and 120 flex?

Normally on one-peice sticks, the higher the number of the flex the harder it is to bend a stick so the 140 would be a stiffer stick, a stick with a 140 or 120 flex would be extremly hard to bend and is not recamended for anyone who takes many slap shots.
