The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given matches are correct, we will analyze each match one by one. 1. **Match (i): Sugarcane - Prop roots** - Sugarcane actually has stilt roots, not prop roots. Stilt roots provide support to the plant by arising from the lower nodes of the stem. Therefore, this match is incorrect. 2. **Match (ii): Turnip - Modified tap root** - Turnip does have a modified tap root. Tap roots are characterized by a single main root that grows downward, and in the case of turnip, it is modified for food storage. Therefore, this match is correct. 3. **Match (iii): Banyan - Stilt roots** - The banyan tree is known for its prop roots, which arise from the branches and grow downwards to provide additional support to the tree. Therefore, this match is incorrect. 4. **Match (iv): Rhizophora - Pneumatophore** - Rhizophora, commonly known as mangrove, has specialized roots called pneumatophores that grow above the ground and help in respiration. Therefore, this match is correct. 5. **Match (v): Sweet potato - Fasciculated tap root** - Sweet potato has a modified tap root that is also known as a fasciculated tap root. This type of root is adapted for storage of food. Therefore, this match is correct. Now, let's summarize the correctness of each match: - Match (i): Incorrect - Match (ii): Correct - Match (iii): Incorrect - Match (iv): Correct - Match (v): Correct **Total Correct Matches: 3 (ii, iv, v)** ### Final Answer: 3 matches are correct.
