because they provide nutrients to the other plants and they keep the soil from washing away
Aerial roots typically grow above the ground or on tree branches, and they can absorb moisture from the air, fog, or rain.

Additionally, some aerial roots can grow down to the ground and absorb water and minerals from the soil, transporting them to the trunk and branches of the plant.

Buttress and stilt roots are found in the rain forest biome. They like nutrient poor soil, which is what the rain forest floor has due to lack of sunlight.
