Best Answer

Plants respire through tiny openings or holes called stomata that are present on the underside of the leaves. Stomata trap air (like oxygen) and the exchange of gases takes place in side the plant cells.

How do plant roots breathe in the soil?

Plants breathe in the soil with the help of their roots . Some plants such as mangroves grow in muddy soil which does not contain much oxygen. To get some air, some mangroves give out special roots called breathing roots. Breathing roots are lined with special cells ( called lentils ) that absorb air. But , plants usually do not breathe through their roots ( mostly through leaves ) . Mostly soil particles can go through roots but I don't know how.


What plants roots can absorb oxygen from water?

Its roots can absorb oxygen from water


What are some examples of pneumatophores roots?

Breathing is the movement of air in and out of an organism to supply oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and water. This process is necessary for respiration which extracts energy from carbohydrates such as sugar. In plants, movement of air in and out of the organism usually occurs mainly via holes called stomata in the leaves. A good example of breathing roots occurs in mangroves where the roots are often covered by stagnant muddy water.


Do the roots absord oxygen from the soil?

Yes. Most plants will die if there is no oxygen available to its roots, after a few days. Some wetland plants have developed ways to survive without the need for absorbing oxygen through roots.


What trees breathe by roots?

Baldcypress is an example of a tree that breathes by its roots. The woody plant in question (Taxodium distichum) maintains buttress roots. Cypress "knees" permit airflow and anchorage in waterlogged environments.

When plants respire do they take up oxygen from their roots or from the stomata in their leaves or both?

stomata is a tiny pores found in the leaves of the plant,but this is not the place where plants take oxygen from,but from the roots.


Do plants release oxygen into the ground through their roots?

No, a plant releases oxygen into the air.


Do roots respire?

Yes, roots do respire. they need oxygen just like all other parts of plants. they get this oxygen from air spaces in the soil. in some plants like rice which grow in wet soil, the roots have air spaces which allow atmospheric oxygen to be transferred to the root cells.
