Solution:
Solution:
Stilt roots are the adventitious aerial roots that are modified for plant support. They are formed if the stem of the plant is thin and long or if the plant is growing near river banks, ponds, etc. Stilt roots develop obliquely from the basal nodes of the stem as in sugarcane, maize, Sorghum, Pandanus etc. They provide extra mechanical support by penetrating the soil. These are short, thick, fibrous roots that hold the soil firmly.
