I was thinking a kind of Cypress, but maybe it's just a joke.

Sorry for being so naive


While I can't speak for that specific tree, yes, there are trees
that have roots that are at least similar to that. I can't think
of the name right now but there's a certain kind of palm that
is common here in Hawaii that has many semi-aerial roots like
that. The leaves of this particular palm I'm thinking of all
seem to be bent in the middle with a clear and definite bend
that looks like a mishap but it's the way they grow.
