What are breathing roots used for?
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.
