Answer:

Aerial roots act as support to hold their tops above water.

Mangroves has leaves that contain glands, which expel salty water.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mangrove is a shrub that grows in coastal saline or brackish water due to their salt tolerance abilities. Aerial roots act as support to hold the plant in water as well as provide oxygen to the plants. These aerial roots are present outside the water so that to provide oxygen to the plants directly absorb from the atmosphere. Mangroves leaves contain glands, which removes salty water from the body so due to these glands, mangrove is able to grow in saline water.
