In the figure the modified roots are emanating from the branches and growing vertically into the soil to provide prop like mechanical support to the branches. Hence these roots are prop roots seen in plants like banyan tree. Stilt roots arise from the basal region of stem at nodal regions. Storage roots are underground and pneumatophores arise from the underground roots and grow aerially.
