The name of the tree that produces rubber is the rubber tree, scientifically known as Hevea brasiliensis. Native to the Amazon rainforest, this tree is primarily cultivated for its latex, which is extracted through a process called tapping. The sap, or latex, is harvested and processed to create natural rubber, which is used in the manufacture of numerous products, including tires, footwear, and medical supplies. The rubber tree thrives in tropical climates and requires specific environmental conditions to grow well. Its significance extends beyond industrial applications, as sustainable rubber production practices are emerging to balance economic benefits and environmental conservation.
