Solution
The correct option is B mangrove
In swampy ecosystems/mangroves, roots come out of the water surface and grow vertically upwards to get oxygen. This is due to lack of oxygen in the soil.
These root structures that grow out from the water surface are called pneumatophores. They facilitate the aeration necessary for respiration.
