Which of the following characterizes the white mangrove?

The white mangrove is characterized by breathing roots. Mangroves are a group of trees and shrubs that grow in coastal areas and are adapted to survive in saltwater environments. The white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) is one of the three most common species of mangrove found in the Americas. It grows in muddy coastal areas and has a unique adaptation called "pneumatophores" or breathing roots, which extend from the soil surface to above the waterline. These roots help the tree to breathe in the oxygen it needs to survive in the anaerobic soil of the intertidal zone. The other options, such as prop roots, buttress roots, and stilt roots, are characteristic of other species of mangroves.
