The correct Answer is:
To solve the matching question regarding root modifications, we will analyze each root type and its corresponding plant. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the function of each root modification 1. **For storage**: These roots are modified to store food. 2. **Prop root**: These roots provide support to the plant, often seen in plants with large canopies. 3. **Stilt root**: These roots help in supporting the plant and are often found in plants growing in unstable soil. 4. **For respiration**: These roots are adapted to facilitate gas exchange, especially in waterlogged conditions. ### Step 2: Identify the plants and their corresponding root types - **Maize (A)**: Known for its stilt roots that help support the plant. - **Sugarcane (B)**: Also has stilt roots and stores food. - **Sweet potato (C)**: Known for its storage roots. - **Turnip (D)**: A root vegetable that stores food. - **Banyan (E)**: Known for its prop roots that provide support. - **Rhizophora (F)**: A plant that has roots adapted for respiration in saline environments. ### Step 3: Match the root modifications with the plants 1. **For storage**: Matches with **C (Sweet potato)** and **D (Turnip)**. 2. **Prop root**: Matches with **E (Banyan)**. 3. **Stilt root**: Matches with **A (Maize)** and **B (Sugarcane)**. 4. **For respiration**: Matches with **F (Rhizophora)**. ### Final Matches: - 1. For storage: C (Sweet potato) and D (Turnip) - 2. Prop root: E (Banyan) - 3. Stilt root: A (Maize) and B (Sugarcane) - 4. For respiration: F (Rhizophora) ### Summary of Matches: 1. For storage: C, D 2. Prop root: E 3. Stilt root: A, B 4. For respiration: F ---
