Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Aerenchyma is found in:

• A. lithophytes
• B. xerophytes
• C. hydrophytes
• D. sciophytes

Answer 1

The correct option is C hydrophytes

Aerenchyma is found in hydrophytes. Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems, and roots of some plants, which allows an exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. It gives buoyancy to the plants to help them float.

So, the correct answer is 'hydrophytes'.
