INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mangroves have a high salt tolerance, also called halophytes and so they often colonize mud and sandbanks flooded by seawater. They can also thrive in low oxygen waterlogged mud. They provide breeding and hatching grounds to many coastal species and offshore fish and shellfish.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mangroves are remarkably tough. Most live on muddy soil, but some also grow on sand, peat, and coral rock. They live in water up to 100 times saltier than most other plants can tolerate. They thrive despite twice-daily flooding by ocean tides; even if this water were fresh, the flooding alone would drown most trees.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. “ These amazing trees and shrubs : cope with salt : Saltwater can kill plants, so mangroves must extract freshwater from the seawater that surrounds them . Many mangroves species survive by filtering out as much as 90 percent of the salt found in seawater as it enters their roots ."
