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.

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.
What is main function of Pneumatophores of Rhizophora?
pneumatophores helps in respiration and gaseous exchange , compensates lack of oxygen in soil in marshy areas
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.
