Scientists created a biosynthetic plant called the "Root of Ga-AI," which grows in a controlled ecosystem within a domed or terraformed habitat, designed to integrate the organic with the synthetic. It represents the fusion of biology and technology, where organic life intertwines with digital consciousness to sustain the balance of a planetary ecosystem.

Connected to the planetary artificial intelligence systems, it monitors the stability of the ecosystem, including water flows, energy, and atmospheric composition. Its light and movement reflect the state of the martian ecosystem, sending information through sensor nodes, as if it were breathing and pulsing with the planet. The geometric patterns and bioluminescence demonstrate this combination of biological and technological elements.
