Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Aerenchyma
- The aerenchyma is a spongy tissue present in leaves, stems and roots of aquatic plants,
- These tissues form spaces or air channels in the plant parts.
- The air-filled cavities provide a low-resistance pathway for the gaseous exchange of oxygen and ethylene between the tissue submerged in water and plants above the water.
- Aerenchyma is mainly found in aquatic and wetland plants which grow in hypoxic soils (low oc=xygen concentration).
- So, the correct answer is 'Aerenchyma'.
