The best answer is pneumatophores.

In the environment where mangroves grow, oxygen is very limited. This necessitates mangrove root system to take up oxygen from the atmosphere. For this purpose, mangrove species have specialized above ground roots called pneumatophores or breathing roots.

In some species, these roots are pencil sized and peg-like while in others they look like a knee. These roots have numerous pores through which oxygen enters into the underground tissues. In some plants,  buttress roots function as breathing roots and also provide mechanical support.

Explain how the terms oxidation and reduction apply even when there is only a partial shift of electrons between atoms linked by
aliina [53]

Explanation:

In a covalent bond, there is sharing of the donated electron by two atomic species having very small electronegative differences between them.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a specie and it usually lead to an increase in oxidation number.

Reduction is the gain of electrons by a specie. It leads to a lower oxidation number.

Since there is no actual loss of gain of electrons in a covalent body, the electronegativiy is at work.

Electronegativity is the ability of a specie to draw the shared electrons more to itself in a covalent bond.

  • Between two atoms bonded covalently, the more electronegative specie draws the electrons closer.
  • This leaves a partial negative charge on it.
  • The other electron then becomes partially positively charged.
  • We can then say, the more electronegative specie undergoes reduction.
  • The less electronegative one undergoes oxidation.
