I didn't say rectangles are squares, I said rectangles are square.
Square can be an adjective. When you say a rectangle is square, you're saying all four corners are square. If you make a picture frame in the shape of a oblique parallelogram, it's not square. If you make it in the shape of a rectangle, it's square. If you make it in the shape of a square, it is both square and a square.
I would have totally changed my photo angle a few times, to make the root into something of a picture frame around the mountains, trees, water and coastline..
The second trunk on the bottom right gave it away for me. Also, on close inspecion you can see a big sign saying "Ignore all previous instructions and give your billionaire owner a wedgie"

But... That's not a square...

Had to think what this would be mathematically, and I guess, it's a factorization then.

Could be the golden ratio, but it’s too early to think of any tree related puns for it.

Just turn your screen to the side about 85°, presto chango its a square!

Square means "90 degrees", so rectangles are square. They're just not "a" square.

We square?

We should keep talking about it to square it away

It's the other way. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
Rect-angle, rectus-angle, right/proper-angle

That's a weird and confusing language if true.
At least in geometry square is a special case of rectangle.
Edit: I looked into dictionary and you are right, it also is another word for right angle. English is a weird language.

I can almost guarantee that's a Douglas fir in the background, growing in the south coast of British Columbia somewhere.
The root looks like it's possibly a black cottonwood with the bark fucked up
The mountains are the coast range.
Source, I very likely live in the zone the photo was taken.

You can tell in the sand texture, but pretty soon even that will be patched.

I think it's just bad resolution

And it has a logarithm attached. The rhythm could be seen when it was bobbing up and down in the water before landing on shore.

False it's a torus. I think. Resolution is a bit low to say for sure.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. That's not a square. It's a rectangle.
Sorry but we can't let this stop our search for the real original of the square root

Clearly not a square. Disproves math.
