The roots that grow out of the soil and water to breathe are called Pneumatophores.

  • In marshy or waterlogged areas, the soil does not have enough oxygen for the respiration of plant roots. Hence, the plants thriving in these areas have roots that grow out of the soil and water to breathe oxygen from the air. These roots are called breathing roots or pneumatophores.
  • The breathing roots contain many small openings called lenticels that are involved in the exchange of gases.
  • For example- mangrove trees that grow in swampy areas have breathing roots.
