Hiii machiii ✋...
➡️ An aerial root may be defined as a root which, for part of the day at least, is exposed to the air. The mangrove mud is rather anaerobic (oxygen poor) and unstable and different plants have root adaptations to cope with these conditions.
➡️ In some plants buttress roots function as breathing roots and also provide mechanical support to the tree. Silt roots: In some mangrove species, roots diverge from stems and branches and penetrate the soil some distance away from the main stem as in the case of banyan trees.
Hope it help you!! ☺️ ☺️ ☺️

the breathing roots present in the mangrove plants are pneumatophores as they grow in marshy and shallow areas where pnematothodes are present on these pneumatophores
