Solution

Aerenchyma:

  1. Aerenchyma tissues are the spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems, and roots of plants, which allow the exchange of gases between the shoot and root.
  2. These air cavities provide low resistance for the exchanges of gases such as oxygen and ethylene between the submerged plants and unsubmerged plants.
  3. Aerenchyma is found in aquatic plants or hydrophytes and wetlands.
