Stilt roots are specialized aerial roots that provide stability and support to certain plants, particularly in unstable, waterlogged environments like mangroves and swamps. They extend from the trunk or branches into the ground, helping to anchor the plant while also allowing for gas exchange. This adaptation helps the plant withstand strong winds and flooding while accessing essential nutrients and oxygen in their challenging habitats. Additionally, stilt roots can facilitate water uptake from the surrounding soil.
mangroves have stilt roots. mangroves grow in soil which is clayey and covered with salty water. stilt roots support the stem and take in air directly from the surroundings.
Maize being monocot has fibrous root system which is also supported by stilt roots.
A buttress root is NOT called a prop root. A buttress root is a big, thick, snake-like root that runs on the surface of the ground near the tree and helps to hold the tree firmly in place. A prop root/stilt root is a root that grows out of a branch and grows down to the ground to enter into the earth and to help hold the plant steady.

Kind of. The stilt palm (cashapona) grows new root, and a new plant will grow off that. The old plant will then die. The whole process takes a long time though, so don't expect to get any 'pet trees' in the future!
