Plants growing in oxygen deficient soils possess:
Correct answer: C. Shallow root system
- A. No roots
- B. Longer roots system
- C. Shallow root system
- D. Aerial roots system
Explanation
Oxygen deficiency in soil restricts root respiration, so plants generally concentrate roots near the better-aerated surface and develop a shallow root system. Aerial roots are a specialised adaptation of some wetland species, not the general response of all plants in oxygen-deficient soils.
