Answer 2

Answer:

In order to carry out some secondary functions or a specific adaptation, roots modify their structures – which can be its size, shape, or even normal functioning. This is referred to as modification of roots.

a) In banyan trees, roots develop from the branches and they go deep down the earth to render mechanical assistance for the tree. This kind of modification is known as prop root.

b) In turnip, roots are modified to store food, and this type of modification is called a fleshy taproot.

c) In mangrove trees, the roots are modified into a pneumatic structure to provide oxygen to the tree. This type of modification is called respiratory roots or pneumatophores.
