Solution

The correct option is C Vanda
The adventitious roots found in the epiphytes are known as the epiphytic root. These roots hang freely in the air and absorb the moisture from the air by a special type of tissue called as velamen. Epiphytic plants are sometimes called as air plants because, they do not have roots in the soil. For example, Vanda.
So, the correct answer is 'Vanda'
