This riddle describes a ship: 'weight in my belly' refers to cargo, 'trees on my back' means it's made of wood (traditional ships), 'nails in my ribs' refers to the wooden planks fastened with nails, and 'feet do I lack' because ships float without feet.
This is a classic riddle describing a sailing ship: 'weight in my belly' refers to cargo stored in the hull, 'trees on my back' refers to wooden masts, and 'nails in my ribs' refers to the nails holding together the ship's wooden ribs/frame. 'Feet do I lack' confirms it moves without legs, which fits a ship gliding through water rather than an animal or object with feet.
