Some plants that grow in swampy areas ave roots growing vertically upwards to get oxygen for respiration such roots are known as pneumatophores. Pneumatophores can only be found in mangrove trees, such as Ceriops sp, Heritiera domes. Such roots have many tiny pores on their surface, through which they can absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
