Banyan Tree is India’s National Tree. It’s a member of mulberry family. The mulberry family is known as Moraceae and this plant grows in India , Bangladesh and some other countries. The banyan Tree begins its life as epiphyte on a host tree, gathers nourishment and water from air (not the host). Despite being an epiphyte , the Ficus is an example of a strangler fig. Its roots grow down and around the stem of the host, their growth accelerating once the ground has been reached. neck after time, the roots coalesce to form a pseudo trunk, eventually strangling and killing the host. The third statement is incorrect. Such aerial roots which help in respiration also are called Pneumatophores and are found in Mangroves.
