Throughout the plant in a tissue analagous to the vascular system but filled with gas. This specialized tissue can be called "aerenchyma."

It is used for storage of oxygen, and conveyance of oxygen from the photosynthetic areas of the plant down to the rhizomes and roots.

It also is used to maintain buoyancy of the photosynthetic part of the plant, keeping it upright.

Hydrilla is a submerged aquatic plant. It absorbs air from the water and releases oxygen in the form of air bubbles, hence it has air spaces in its parenchymatous tissues.
