Which North American deciduous conifer, Taxodium distichum, is known for woody 'knees' that rise from its roots?

Bald Cypress

The Bald Cypress is uniquely adapted to swampy environments, growing distinctive 'knees' that protrude above the water level to help stabilize the tree in soft soil. While most conifers are evergreen, this species is deciduous and sheds its needle-like leaves every autumn after they turn a striking rusty red.
