Description
Rhizophora mangle or red mangroves, colonize tropical and subtropical coastlines, surviving in the most inundated areas of varying salinity. They prop themselves above the water level with stilt roots that not only anchor and stabilize the plant in the shifting intertidal zones but also play an important role in absorbing air through pores (lenticels) in their bark.
