Definition: A lateral root (PO:0020121) that is erect and protrudes above the surface of the soil or water. Source: ISBN:9780881928501
Comment: Pneumatophores are found in trees that live in flooded habitats such as mangroves, and often have many lenticels (PO:0000031) which may provide oxygen to below-ground roots growing in flooded soils. Knee roots are a type of pneumatophore in which the lateral root first grows upward, then turns and grows back down into the substrate, forming a knee-like bend. Note that a pneumatophore differs from a prop root (PO:0000044), which is formed at a stem node above the ground, and grows downward into the soil.
