Solution

The correct option is A
rhizophora

Geotropism (or gravitropism) is the growth movement by a plant due to gravity. Plant roots usually show positive geotropism and stems show negative geotropism. In some plants such as Rhizophora, growing in swampy areas, many roots come out of the ground and grow vertically upwards. Such roots, called pneumatophores, help to get oxygen for respiration.
