Question

Pneumatophores are modifications of the shoot.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Pneumatophores are modifications of roots in plants growing in swampy areas or waterlogged environments. Pneumatophores help the plant derive oxygen for respiration. In plants with pneumatophores, many roots come out of the ground, grow vertically upwards and rise above the water level. They have lenticels or breaks in the outer bark that allows air to pass down to the submerged root system.
