How do the roots of the mangrove trees adapt to the waterlogged soil conditions?
Coastal zone- Sonneratia have aerial roots that are exposed during low tide to breathe.
Middle Zone- Rhizophora have prop roots to provide support for the trees on muddy soil.
Inland Zone- Bruguiera have knee-like roots to provide support on the soft soil.
