Answer 2

Answer:

PROP ROOT :                                              

                   an adventitious root that supports the plant, as the aerial roots of the mangrove tree or of corn.

BREATHING ROOTS :

                     In clayey soil, plants face deficiency of oxygen. Thus, to obtain oxygen, their roots grow upwards. Such roots that grow upwards (away from the gravity) are called breathing roots.
