Answer 1

Littoral forests have breathing roots called Pneumatophores.

Pneumatophores are specialised aerial roots in littoral forests (such as mangrove forests) that grow upward to facilitate gas exchange. These "breathing roots" help the plants survive in waterlogged, oxygen-poor soil by allowing them to obtain oxygen from the air.
