Solution
The correct option is A Root
The lenticels are type of cells that are found in the bark of some stems and on the breathing roots (pneumatophores) of mangrove plants.
Its main function is to form a gateway for the direct exchange of gases between the root cells and the atmosphere.
So, when these are blocked, the roots will be not able to exchange gases which gradually leads to the death of the root cells and ultimately whole plant dies.
