    B)  Pinus

    C)  Rhizophora    

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Pneumatophores are respiratory roots common in halophytes (mangroves). The halophytes grow in muddy saline soil near sea shore e.g., Rhizophord. Roots of some plants develop chlorophyll, these are called assimilatory or photosynthetic roots e.g., Trapa, Tinospora. Pinus has mycorrhizal roots. Such roots do not have root hairs but the fungal hypae function as root hair.
