Mangrove

Mangroves are group of tropical trees or shrubs growing in swampy ground along river banks with branches that spread and send down roots, thus forming more trunks and causing a thick growth. Mangrove’s does so easily because their vines like roots take in air through their pores. These roots drop from the tree’s trunks and branches into the surrounding mud, where they establish supporting stilts and new trunks in a dense tangled mass. Mangroves grow thickly along tropical and subtropical seashores , tidal marshes . and riverbanks the common mangrove grows to 40 feet in height and is found in southern Florida and tropical America .
