Answer:
Adventitious roots are plant roots that form from any nonroot tissue and are produced both during normal development (crown roots on cereals and nodal roots on strawberry [Fragaria spp.]) and in response to stress conditions, such as flooding, nutrient deprivation, and wounding.

Adventitious roots include those formed on stem and leaf cuttings and those produced by air layering. Adventitious aerial roots of many tropical trees are common. For example, Ficus produces free-hanging aerial roots that originate in the branches and undergo secondary thickening before they reach the soil.
