The correct Answer is:
To determine which plants have adventitious roots, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Adventitious Roots**: - Adventitious roots are roots that arise from parts of the plant other than the root system, such as stems or leaves. They can provide additional support, help in nutrient absorption, or assist in vegetative reproduction. 2. **Analyzing Option A - Monstera**: - Monstera is known to have adventitious roots. These roots help the plant climb and support itself as it grows. Therefore, Monstera does have adventitious roots. 3. **Analyzing Option B - Banyan Tree**: - The banyan tree initially has a tap root system, but as it matures, it develops adventitious roots that grow down from its branches to the ground. These roots provide additional support to the tree. Hence, the banyan tree also has adventitious roots. 4. **Analyzing Option C - Mango Tree**: - The mango tree has a fibrous root system and does not produce adventitious roots. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, both Monstera (Option A) and Banyan tree (Option B) have adventitious roots. The mango tree (Option C) does not have adventitious roots. ### Final Answer: Adventitious roots are found in **A) Monstera and B) Banyan tree**. ---
