Solution
The correct option is A Aerenchyma
- Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems, and roots of some plants,
- which allows the exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. The channels of air-filled cavities provide a low-resistance internal pathway for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and ethylene between the plant above the water and the submerged tissues.
- Aerenchyma is also widespread in aquatic and wetland plants which must grow in hypoxic soils. Hydrilla and Eichhornia are aquatic plants.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
