Plants, which produce characteristic pneumatophores and show vivipary belong to (a) mesophytes (b) halophytes (c) psammophytes (d) hydrophytes

Answer»

Correct option is (b) halophytes

Plants that produce pneumatophores i.e. negatively geotropic roots and show vivipary i.e. germination of seeds inside the fruits are halophytes.

These plants are adapted to grow in highly saline areas such as mangroves. Pneumatophores help these plants in respiration as they do not get sufficient oxygen from the soil. On the other hand vivipary aids in perennation.
