What is the function of pneumatophores in Halophytes? |
|
Answer» Halophytes are present in water-logged conditions and so, the roots in the soil do not get air for respiration. Thus, underground roots grow above the surface of the soil and are called aerial respiratory roots or pneumatophores. They are negatively geotropic. Aerial respiratory roots appear like conical spikes coming out of the water. They have numerous aerating pores, that help in respiration. |
