Pneumatophores are modified root and negatively geotropic. These are—

  1. A
    Respiratory roots
  2. B
    Photosynthetic roots
  3. C
    Food storing roots
  4. D
    Water storing roots

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Pneumatophores are specialized respiratory roots found in plants growing in waterlogged, anaerobic conditions or mangrove swamps (e.g., Rhizophora). They grow vertically upwards out of the water and mud (negatively geotropic) to take in oxygen from the atmosphere through small pores called lenticels.
