Detailed Solution

Plants growing in swampy areas are called as Mangroves. Since swampy areas are waterlogged and soils are loose, the plant develops lateral roots from underground roots which become aerial and have lenticels known as pneumathodes which help in exchange of gases or respiration. Some other roots arise from basal regions of stem which grow into the soil to provide mechanical support to the stem. These roots are called as stilt roots.
