Prawns and crabs inhabit mangrove trees primarily because these environments provide essential shelter and breeding grounds. The complex root systems of mangrove trees create a rich habitat that offers protection from predators and strong currents. Additionally, the abundant organic material in mangrove ecosystems supports diverse food sources, making them ideal for these species' survival and growth.

Mangrove leaves refer to the leaves of mangrove trees, which are uniquely adapted to thrive in saline or brackish water environments. These leaves are thick, waxy, and often have salt-excreting glands to remove excess salt. They also have specialized adaptations such as sunken stomata and salt-excluding tissues that help mangrove trees cope with high salt concentrations.
