Is duckweed partially submerge or fully submerged?
No, it is a floating plant, i know you might argue that the roots are underwater while the leaves are above but actually that counts as a floating plant, or else water hyacinth and water lettuce are half-submerged too. Floating plants is a plant that has it's leaves above water and it's roots dangling in water, partially submerged is leaves above water but roots in the soil below water, completely submerged is the roots in the soil below and the leaves also below water surface. -LJTG
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.

Geraniums tend to form highly branched fibrous root systems. The roots themselves, may develop root hairs to aid in absorption of mineral from the soil.
Why are the root systems of most plants as large or larger than above ground plant parts?
Most root systems of most plants are larger than the above parts of the plant because the roots are trying to reach the water underground. Some roots that are very far from a water source have to have there roots go very far spread out and also very deep to get water. Some trees have roots that actually exceed the water table!
