Solution

The correct option is B Epiphytes
A typical aerial root of epiphytes consists of a specialised outer epidermis of several cell layers, called as the velamen. When mature, these cells are dead and filled with air. The velamen acts as a site for temporary water storage.
So, the correct answer is 'Epiphytes'
