B Correct answer
Explanation

Plants having roots above the soil are called mangrove plants. Areas with lots of water and sticky soil are called marshy areas. The plants that grow there are called mangroves. Since the soil is soaked in water, the roots of mangroves are unable to take in air from the soil. So, they have breathing roots that arise from the soil. Example: Sundari trees of Sundarban.
