Answer 4

Air plants such as orchids and bromeliads have adventitious roots. The strangler fig tree has such a root.

As a general description, adventitious roots are normally shallow, fibrous and matted in nature (as opposed to a tap-root system) and are normally characteristic of monocotyledonous plants.

This is, however, a generalization as other plants also utilize this type of system where it is an advantage in order to ensure survival, such as many cactus species, which although are dicotyledonous, utilize and adventitious root system.

Adventitious roots are roots that can form from any point of the plant, this includes the stems and branches (such as the case with some Ficus species). Adventitious roots can also form from callused areas of a plant, such as tissue cultures plants, where the roots develop directly from the callus area.

Many Orchids and Bromeliads have epileptic or aerial root systems.
