[Albedo-186f] is located in the habitable zone of its star. The much higher gravity compared to Earth explains the robust, thick, and sinuous structure of Arcanum ferrata, which helps to better distribute the weight and avoid breakage. The plant develops deep and branched roots capable of extracting essential minerals, as well as detoxification mechanisms to manage the high concentrations of metals present on this exoplanet.
