Best Answer

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.

A stick bends because of the internal stress caused by external forces, such as bending or twisting. The fibers within the stick rearrange and deform to accommodate the applied force, allowing it to bend without breaking.
