They grow in swamps and in tidal zones. Therefore, they are very well adapted to salt water and they even have the capacity to desalinate water thanks to their roots and the pores of their leaves. They are mainly composed of mangroves, a woody tree that has stilt roots and is one of the only trees to survive in highly saline water. These roots help to capture oxygen at the surface and support the trunk above the ground or water. There are several types of mangroves: red, black, grey and white.
