1- can grow up to 30 ft
2- if fruits fall in sea, they keep floating in water for almost a year until a rock hits into them n they form a new tree
3- found in all tropical n subtropical
4- prop root carries water n oxygen to underground root
5- protects against natural destruction by averting erosion of soil

important- they provide a haven for the submerged sea creatures with aid of the roots present under water
