Question

Which rainforests are distinctively known for stilt roots and flying buttresses and fish play an important role in seed dispersal?

Answer 1

The rainforest which have distinction of stilt roots and flying buttresses where fish are so important that they have been playing a role for seed dispersal, they are flooded forest found in Brazil known as $\textbf {Igapò Forest}$ or $\textbf {Igapò Rainforest}$.

This type of Rainforest is always flooded with overloaded water for high periods of time when flood season is occurring. Amazon Forest in Amazon Basin (which contributes 2 percent if the total Rainforest found abundantly all over the world) are the ones to have this forest. As the flood is seen in prominence and never allows the water to drain quickly this will cause a instability between the tree and soil relationship and interactions, so, therefore, the trees here are particularly much shorter than a normal tree henceforth acting as a mangrove or swamp (high quantity of water) and it gets its second name called $\textbf{Swamp Rainforest}$ and it is supported by known species like Mauritia, Ceiba, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Cecropia, etc.

Back to the statement emphasised in the question. The stilt roots and flying buttresses are present in several of the Igapò species of trees and plantations which are giving the function of structural support to maintain and balance the trees to the soil and tree proportionate, hence, the trees, when a flood season comes or is sensed the species have these special organs to lend support and hold its ground. Fishes are coming into play for substantial seed dispersal system in this forestry, this helps to grow trees throughout the rainy waters. The dispersal of seeds happen when the fruit of the pericarp and endocarp are thoroughly digested, but, the seed in unharmed and passes out of the gut without any chemical or enzymatic reactions. Cat Fishes are shown the importance of dispersing seeds as they are found close to the ground level and hence are bottom-feeders, thus, making the seed a direct pathway for easy dispersion into the soil and less travelling.
