Stilt Roots:
Stilt RootsThe aerial, adventitious obliquely growing roots that develop from the lower nodes of the stem to give additional support are called stilt roots.
This root bears several large overlapping root caps called multiple root caps. e.g., Sugarcane, Pandanus, Rhizophora, Sorghum, and Maize. Pandanus (screw pine) is a common seashore plant.
They also help in the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
In monocots, these roots arise in whorls from a few basal nodes of the stem.
