Pretty literal title for this subject. This is named on a park map as Tree Root Cave and gives a nice perspective on life as a tree along a temperate rainforest coastline. The beaches around Kalaloch Creek are smothered with driftwood comprised of large trees that got washed into the Pacific only to return to the shores looking worse for the wear. In this case there is an underground drainage that emerges at the back of this cave with a small waterfall that has eroded the soil out from under this rather determined tree still holding onto what's left for soil. Almost all of the rocks along this shoreline are glacial deposits that were pushed into the area during various stages of ice ages. They are mostly flavors of granite and there are no native granite deposits on the entire Olympic Peninsula. They appear to make nice stone stacks.
