When matching, focus on the unique characteristics of the plants and their root types. Identifying specific root structures or parasitic relationships can help with correct matching.
Let’s analyze the correct matches based on plant characteristics:
Maize: Maize (corn) has photosynthetic roots. The roots are capable of photosynthesis, which helps in supporting the plant. Hence, Maize matches with E (Photosynthetic roots).
Striga: Striga is a partial parasite, which attaches itself to the roots of other plants and derives nutrients. So, Striga matches with A (Partial parasite).
Banyan: The Banyan tree produces prop roots. These roots grow downward from the branches to the soil. Hence, Banyan matches with C (Prop roots).
Taeniophyllum: Taeniophyllum has velamen roots, a type of root that serves as a protective layer and is found in epiphytic plants like orchids. So, Taeniophyllum matches with D (Velamen roots).
