The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the modified supporting roots known as prop roots and stilt roots, we need to identify which plants exhibit these root types correctly. Let's break down the options step by step: 1. **Understanding Prop Roots and Stilt Roots**: - **Prop Roots**: These are horizontal branches that grow from the trunk or branches of a tree and help support the plant. They are commonly found in large trees. - **Stilt Roots**: These roots develop from the lower part of the stem and grow obliquely into the ground, providing support to the plant. They are typically found in certain grasses and crops. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option (i)**: Banyan and Maize - Banyan trees have prop roots. - Maize has stilt roots. - This option is correct. - **Option (ii)**: Banyan and Sugarcane - Banyan trees have prop roots. - Sugarcane has stilt roots. - This option is also correct. - **Option (iii)**: Maize and Banyan - Maize does not have prop roots; it has stilt roots. - Banyan trees have prop roots. - This option is incorrect. - **Option (iv)**: Sugarcane and Maize - Both sugarcane and maize have stilt roots. - This option is incorrect as it does not mention prop roots. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct options that mention the respective plants with prop roots and stilt roots are (i) Banyan and Maize, and (ii) Banyan and Sugarcane. Therefore, the correct answer is: - **(d) i and ii only**.
