questions 16 to 18.
A
mangrove is a tropical marine tree or shrub of the genius Rhizhopora. Mangroves
have special aerial roots and salt-filtering taproots that enable them to
thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as
seawater).
There
are several species of mangroves trees found all over the world. Some prefer
more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source
(such as river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species
have their roots covered with seawater everyday during high tide. Other species
grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
Mangroves
need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they
also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves.
There are three types of mangrove roots that play an important role for it, the
support roots which directly pierce the soil, the level-growing roots which
twist upwards and downwards; with the upward twists emerging on the water
surface, and the level-growing roots whose downward twists (sub-roots) appear
on the water surface.
The
part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under
water surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional
roots that become embedded in the soil.
