Answer 1

Trees in littoral forests are known for their breathing roots.

Explanation:

Littoral forests’ trees grow amid moist, salty, and oxygen-starved coastal mud. To survive, they develop specialised above-ground roots known as pneumatophores (breathing roots), which sprout upwards out of the water and mud to take oxygen directly from the air.
