Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Yes rhizophora possess peneumatophores. Pneumatophores are modification of stem. Due to the swampy environment the supply of oxygen gets restricted and pneumatophores arise to increase oxygen uptake for respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of plant species that form pneumatophores are the black mangrove and the grey mangrove. These mangrove plants form pneumatophores since the saline soil is anaerobic and therefore hampers the submerged roots to carry out gas exchange through the soil.
