Explanation:

Mangroves are plants that survive salinity, tidal regime, strong wind velocity, high temperatures and muddy anaerobic soil – combination of conditions hostile for growth and perpetuation of other plants. They are found in the inter-tidal zones of sheltered shores, estuaries, creeks, backwaters, lagoons, marshes and mud-flats.Mangrove forests are also known with several names such as ‘Tidal Forests’, ‘Coastal Woodlands’, ‘Walking Forest in the Sea’, ‘Root of the Sea’ and Oceanic Rain Forests’. 
Mangroves are the only tall tree forest on the earth, lying between land and sea in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The mangroves play prime role in supporting the fishery resources and biodiversity; supplying the forest products such as wood, charcoal, helping in the areas of medicine, honey production, tourism; removing the pollution from air, water and land; and, protecting the coast against wind, waves, flood and natural calamities.
