Question

• A. Adventitious Roots
• B. Lateral roots
• C. Aerial roots
• D. Tap roots

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Adventitious Roots

Adventitious roots are those roots that are generally found to be growing above the ground's surface. They perform special functions and play an important role in the life cycles of certain plants/trees. This could be seen as an adaptive measure incorporated by the plant to help allow it to survive.
