Answer:Lakshadweep islands

Lakshadweep islands are known as India's coral islands.

Important off shore island groups of India with extensive reef growth include the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and the Lakshadweep group of Islands in the Arabian sea.

Coral islands are low islands formed in warm waters by tiny sea animals called corals. Corals build up hard external skeletons of calcium carbonate. This material, also known as limestone, is similar to the shells of sea creatures like clams and mussels. Colonies of corals may form huge reefs.

Lakshadweep comprises twelve atolls, three reefs and five submerged banks, with a total of about thirty-six islands and islets. The reefs are in fact atolls, although mostly submerged, with only small unvegetated sand cays above the high water mark.
