$2$.	Pneumato	b	Heritiera
$3$.	Haustoria	c	Asparagus
$4$.	Prop roots	d	Viscum
$5$.	Assimilatory roots	e	Screwpine

• A. $1-c,2-b,3-d,4-e,5-a$
• B. $1-b,2-c,3-d,4-e,5-a$
• C. $1-c,2-d,3-e,4-a,5-b$
• D. $1-c,2-a,3-b,4-e,5-d$
• E. $1-e,2-d,3-c,4-b,5-a$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1-c,2-b,3-d,4-e,5-a$

1) Asparagus shows tubercular storage roots as the food is stored in its roots for perrenation

2) heritiera is called pneumatophore because it lives n waterlogged condition making the roots to develop small opening for brathing.

3) Haustoria are structures which help parasitic plants suck the nutrient and water from host like in viscum.

4) Prop roots are roots which give support to plants like screwpine so that it cans stand erect in marshy soils.

5) Assimilatory roots are roots which are green in colour enabling them to produce their own food through photosynthesis as in tinospora.

So, the correct option is '1−c,2−b,3−d,4−e,5−a'
