Scientists have recently discovered what could be the
largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant

some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than
30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

This is Q42 in OG12 and tests parallelism. I could not understand the explanation offered. How is a past participle be parallel to present participle? I thought that for the elements tested to be in parallel, they would need to be in the same form.
