Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
  • Buttress roots are large roots present on all sides of a shallowly rooted tree. They are found in the area where the nutrient is less and where roots do not penetrate to deeper layers.
  • Mangroves have these types of roots. They prevent the tree from falling and also helps in gathering more nutrients.
  • The roots may be intertwined with buttress roots from other trees and create an intricate mesh, which helps support trees surrounding it. Such buttress roots can be traced in Somalia, Ficus and Terminalia.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
