A pneumatophore is a specialized aerial root that some plants, particularly mangroves, develop to facilitate gas exchange in waterlogged environments. These structures protrude above the soil or water surface, allowing the plant to intake oxygen from the air. Pneumatophores are crucial for the survival of these plants in hypoxic conditions, where the soil is saturated and oxygen levels are low.
