Question

You have learnt mangroves have three types of roots. How do these roots help the mangrove plants to protect the shore and to survive them selves in the marshy area?

Answer 1

A mangrove is a shrub or small tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves occur worldwide in the tropics and subtropics, mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. The total mangrove forest area of the world in 2000 was 137,800 square kilometres , spanning 118 countries and territories.
