But I was interested in the complexity belowground.

但我的兴趣，却在于地下的复杂性。

Either way, it's likely that some of the belowground connections, whether roots or mycelia have become severed over time, meaning these giants are probably comprised of smaller, but still ginormous and genetically identical, patches.

无论如何，不管是根还是菌丝，很可能某些深埋地下的联系在某时曾经断裂，这揭示出他们都是从小群体演化而来的，但它们仍然十分庞大，个体的基因仍然相同。
