Plants with roots sticking out, known as "aerial roots," include species like orchids, mangroves, and some types of climbing plants like philodendrons. Aerial roots help these plants absorb moisture and nutrients from the air, provide support, and facilitate climbing. Mangroves, in particular, have specialized roots that protrude above water to help with gas exchange in saline environments. Additionally, certain epiphytic orchids develop aerial roots to gather water and nutrients in their natural habitats.
