Mangrove forests only grow at tropical and subtropical latitudes near the equator because they cannot withstand freezing temperatures. ... This tangle of roots allows the trees to handle the daily rise and fall of tides, which means that most mangroves get flooded at least twice per day

Mangrove forests expand only below the equator at tropical and subtropical latitudes, because they can not tolerate freezing temperatures.
Explanation:
- Mangrove trees root system is built to withstand the regular rise and fall of sea-water levels. We calm rough waves to enable settling of sediments. Mangrove trees can not tolerate freezing temperatures and can thus only be contained in tropics and subtropics.
- This root tangle helps the trees to withstand the constant rise and fall of water, ensuring that most mangroves are flooded at least twice a day.
- Sundarbans is the world's biggest mangrove area, found in Bangladesh's Ganges River Delta and West Bengal, India. The mangroves of Pichavaram at Tamil Nadu are one of the biggest mangrove forests in India.
