Question
support mangrove trees out of the water
a. tap roots
b. prop roots
c. sand dunes
d. tide supports
please select the best answer from the choices provided
Brief Explanations
Mangrove trees have prop roots that grow out of the trunk and branches and help support the trees above the water level in the often - unstable and wet mangrove environment. Tap roots grow vertically downwards and are not relevant here. Sand dunes are landforms and not a part of the tree's support structure. There is no such thing as tide supports for mangrove trees in the biological sense.
