the function of the prop root is achor the plant to the ground & absorb water
actually it can be both . take bamboo for example it has prop roots but it is not woody. but then a banyan tree is woody but is having prop roots.so i guess the answer is it can be both!Edited answer:Prop roots come out from a woody plant only, in case of bamboo only stilt roots are seen not prop roots.
prop roots
ropes and trunk
flvs... haha the answer is prop roots
Prop roots are roots that grow above the ground to support the plant, fibrous roots are thin and highly branched roots that spread out close to the surface, while tap roots are a single thick main root with smaller branches.
prop roots?
Aerial roots which are roots that never touch the ground.Fibrous roots which are roots that are thin and branching.Tap roots have a main stalk-like root that plunges deep into the ground.The last is Prop roots which are roots that usually grow at the bottom of a plants stem that help supportand prop it up so it will not get knocked over.
Mangroves have 3 main types of roots 1) Rhizophora roots 2) Prop roots 3) Pencil roots

Specialized roots are root structures that have evolved to perform specific functions in a plant, such as storage roots (e.g., carrots), prop roots (e.g., maize), or pneumatophores (e.g., mangroves). These roots are adapted to the plant's environment and serve unique roles in nutrient uptake, support, or survival in challenging conditions.
Prop roots are adventitious aerial roots commonly found in Ficus species.
The specialized roots of corn include brace roots, nodal roots, and crown roots. Brace roots provide structural support to the plant, nodal roots help with water and nutrient absorption, and crown roots anchor the plant in the soil and aid in nutrient uptake. These specialized roots work together to help corn plants establish a strong root system for optimal growth and development.
