Detailed explanation-1: -Aerial roots are a type of adventitious root, and they grow from the plant stem or leaf tissues. They are usually found in climbing vines, epiphytes (like orchids), and hemiepiphytes (like strangler figs and banyan trees).
Detailed explanation-2: -Climbing roots are adventitious roots that grow from other than the radicle part. They arise from the nodes and internodes of weak plant stems. They help in climbing. Examples include Pothos (money plant) and vanilla.
Detailed explanation-3: -Climbing roots are the adventitious roots that arise from the nodes or internodes in plants having weak stems. These roots help the plants in climbing by penetrating the cracks of the support, as in Pothos (money plant) or they may stick firmly to a support by secreting a cementing gummy substance, as in Ficus pumila.
