Sometimes the wise ones wove their magic into living plants; as the plant grew, so grew the magic.
Rulings
If you must sacrifice a creature to pay a casting or activation cost that also includes mana, such as that of Bubbling Cauldron's abilities, you may put a -0/-1 counter on Wall of Roots to make its toughness 0 and then sacrifice it to pay that cost.
