Question

Ques. 4. Write note on epiphytic roots.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The epiphytic roots are thick, irregular, and hang down in the air. They do not bear any root caps or root hairs. Instead of these appendages, it bears a covering of dead spongy tissue known as velamen. With its help, the epiphytes absorb water from the moist atmosphere, dew, and rain.
