Plants in Marshy Areas

There are some areas where soil is very
sticky. These areas are known as marshy
areas. These areas have clayey wet soil
which doesn’t allow water to drain from it.
The roots of plants come out of the soil and
act as breathing roots. The plants that grow
here are mangroves.

Trees like coconut grow in coastal areas. Such trees can survive in salty water.
