Question

Write down in brief how pneumatophores help in respiration

Answer 1

Pneumatophores are the modification of roots in plants growing in swampy areas or waterlogged environments and help to get oxygen for respiration. Many roots come out of the ground and grow vertically upwards. The pneumatophores rise above the water level and have lenticels or breaks in the outer bark that allows air to pass down to the submerged root system.
