Question

Why do trees in mangroves develop aerial roots?
How does this benefit the vegetation/environment
of the region where they are found?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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.
