What is main function of Pneumatophores of Rhizophora?
pneumatophores helps in respiration and gaseous exchange , compensates lack of oxygen in soil in marshy areas
What is pneumatophores?
pneumatophores are lateral roots that grow upward (negative geotropism) for varying distances and function as the site of oxygen intake for the submerged primary...or they are a specialized root of certain swamp plants, such as the mangrove, that branches upwards, rising above ground, and undergoes gaseous exchange with the atmosphere.Pneumatophores are aerial roots that are specialized for gaseous exchange and are found in swamp plants and mangroves.
Why do mangrove trees have aerial roots?
Mangrove trees have aerial roots (roots above the soil) as they grow very close together and therefore don't find enough oxygen (O2) underground.
Why do think only mangrove plant can grow in marshy area?
The marshy area provide very less amount of oxygen to the roots to respire. in mangrovbove the respiratory roots in the form of pneumatophores are present above the ground to get oxygen from the air. Hence mangrove plant grow well in marshy areas.

What is the name given to breathing roots?
pneumatophores
How does the mangrove tree get energy?
The sun, and through snorkel-like roots called pneumatophores.
Specialized structures that allow mangroves to get oxygen in soil that is usually anaerobic are called?
pneumatophores
What roots grow above mud?
Pneumatophores are roots found in waterlogged soils, such as those produced by mangroves
What is the purose of pneumatophores roots?
So the trees can get oxygen and release CO2. The roots grow up out of the soil to reach oxygen.
How can plants affect the pond?
Plants are adapted to pond habitat by a special organ called pneumatophores which helps the plants to respire.
What do the pencil roots on a plant do?
Pencil roots are found in mangrooves like Avicenia.These are basically meant for respiration, also known as Pneumatophores.

What are surface roots called?
Surface roots generally are called aerating roots (or pneumatophores). The surface roots of bonsi trees are called nebari, and are an integral part of shaping the final bonsi tree art.
What are the roots that grow high above the soil in mangrove plants called?
aerial roots - See related links to read about stilt-roots, pneumatophores, root knees, and plank roots.
