Answer:
Lenticels found in mangrove roots allows diffusion and transport of oxygen to underground root systems in the anaerobic mud.
Explanation:
Lenticels are the small pores located on the aerial roots responsible for the gaseous exchange ( intake of oxygen ).
The Mangrove species contain a very large number of lenticels surround their roots and stems helping in the gaseous exchange ( respiration ) even in the anaerobic mud as he lenticels are surrounded by tide, as the root pressure begins to drop. When the tide goes down , air is again sucked in the aerenchym.
As in the anaerobic mud , their specialized roots allow mangroves to grow in anaerobic situations .
