These roots are very shallow. Because the soil in shallow areas of mangal forests is typically flooded during high tides, many species of mangrove trees have aerial roots, called pneumatophores, that take up oxygen from the air for the roots. ... These seedlings, called propagules, even grow roots.

I hope this helped.

  • Thus are called as the mangroves swamps and biome is made up of the deposition environments. Thus they can move the flow of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a long term storage system within roots.
