write a few lines on the roots of banyan tree.
Answers
Answer:
The root hanging from the branch of banyan tree are prop root, which are developed from the main branches of tree. These root grow straight downward to the soil, which they enter and form underground root.
The banyan reaches a height up to 30 metres and spreads laterally indefinitely. Aerial roots that develop from its branches descend and take root in the soil to become new trunks. One tree may in time assume the appearance of a very dense thicket as a result of the tangle of roots and trunks.the roots diverge from stems and branches and penetrate the soil some distance away from the main stem as in the case of banyan trees. Because of their appearance and because they provide the main physical support to these they are called as stilt roots.
