Plants in the mangrove Part 1

AERIAL ROOTS



At the mangrove we learn about why plant need to grow strange roots like prop kneed and aerial roots as the soil they live in are waterlogged and lack of oxygen.





We learn why mangrove environment experience a lot of movement. It is because of the daily tides. A seed planted may be washed away by the tides before it has a chance to germinate and take root. Some trees in the mangrove solve this problem by using a reproductive process called Vivipary.
