Vedclass · Answer

(B) Pneumatophores are specialized root structures found in plants that grow in saline,swampy,or waterlogged areas,such as mangroves.These roots grow vertically upward (negatively geotropic) out of the soil or water to facilitate gaseous exchange,as the soil in these environments is often oxygen-deficient.Plants that grow in such saline,marshy areas are known as halophytes (e.g.,$Rhizophora$ and $Avicennia$).Therefore,pneumatophores are characteristic of halophytes.
