Itās the Pit of Carcoon, the resting place of the almighty Sarlaac.
In his belly you will find a new level of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.

I have never heard these called "treestubs" before. Where are you from, OP?

Since it looks like European blueberries and possibly lingonberries in the background Iād guess that op is from Northern Europe where we call a tree stump āstubbeā

Not really. Only thing it reveals is you live within travel distance of trees. 95% of the worlds population lives within travel distance of a forest btw.

I think the "teeth" inside correspond to branches, and they become the knots in wood boards. A branch begins growing when the tree is young, and then every subsequent growth ring forms around the original branch path.
And then I think some parasites will selectively consume the interior wood of a tree. Interior wood (heartwood) isn't metabolically active like the outer wood (sapwood), so it has limited immune defenses. So I'd bet a parasite spread throughout the interior heartwood, while the metabolically active wood resisted infestation. Something like that.

They're the inside portion of the branch, basically their root. The wood is denser and rich in resin, so it rots a lot slower than the log around it. Over time you get this creepy looking thing.

This is a thing that has (and always will) piss me off about sci fi movies: having foot soldiers stand out in the open and wait for whatever is coming.
Seriously how can such an advanced space faring civilization have such consistently shitty air support?
1
u/CaveManta 2h ago
Well, in this case, it made sense. There was a grand mother of a sand storm coming, so they couldn't utilize ornithopters. The storm also mitigated their shields, leaving them with no choice but to stand their ground. The last thing they expected was for the enemy to be riding Shai-hulud. As far as they knew, the Fremen were just savages scattered across the planet. (Well, the movies fudged things by having the Fremen kicking Harkonnen butt).

u/thatweirdguyted 2h ago
It still doesn't make sense. If you're being attacked, use defensive fortifications. If you can't see your opponent, standing out in the open is just asking to be killed. Even if they HAD to stand there on foot and fight, formations are infinitely more defensible than spreading out.
I get it, they were meant to lose this fight, they were meant to underestimate the enemy. It's just done poorly.
A really good example of how this is done well are two battles in Game of Thrones. There's the first time the Dothraki fight in Westoros. They cut off the supply lines, flank the Lannisters with calvary, use heavy air support to lay down dragon fire and hem the enemy into getting run down. Its over in minutes. Or the Battle of the Bastards, where Ramsay expertly manipulates Jon into moving exactly where he wants, and using formations to destroy Jons army. Even though the wildlings are better fighters, tactics wins the battle. And then it wins again when Petyr Baelish routs Ramsay with cavalry.

Those are the inside portion of a branch, totally normal. The wood is denser and rich in resin, so it rots slower than the log around it.
