What are some advantages to the mangrove of living in saltwater?
Mangroves have special features which protect them from salt. Some mangroves are able to filter most of the salt out as they take water in through their roots, some concentrate extra salt in old leaves (which turn yellow and die), and some are able to get rid of the salt through the pores on leaves or special glands. Mangroves can also grow in fresh water, but they have almost no competition in salt water because so few plants can grow there.Mangroves have special features which protect them from salt.
