Solution

Vivipary:

  1. The growth of the offspring while still being attached to the parent is known as vivipary.
  2. It is characterized by the lack of seed dormancy.
  3. Mangroves growing in marshy areas are viviparous.
  4. Since the seeds cannot germinate in the saline environment, they have developed this special mechanism for germination.
  5. The offsprings detach once they are able to perform photosynthesis and other life functions for survival.
