Trees Should have rooted dirt underneath them

Trees in real life have roots so why can't minecraft have the new rooted dirt from 21w05a underneath all trees

    The azalea trees need to and no other tree because you are supposed to find an azalea tree, dig down, and follow the rooted dirt to the lush caves and that is the only way to find one unless you don’t do it on purpose

    I have similar ideas and reasons behind this. Also it should be noted that the Lush Caves are found almost directly under an Azalea tree, so you just look for those. The small amount of rooted dirt would make farming and mining in forest more difficult, with rooted dirt requiring double hoeing, and being much more difficult to dig through with fist or shovel (maybe stone tier shovel required). This would force players to choose optimal terrain for different things, farming more heavily on plains (which is already easier) and mining more in plains and mountains.

    Actually I think it's just the tree that signifies a lush caves, and the roots are just decorative. I'd love to see this feature in game.

    I've loved this idea since the rooted dirt block came out

    It's strange that only azalea has roots, it would be more logical to add them under all trees
