WHAT DOES AERENCHYMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

aerenchyma

Aerenchyma

Aerenchyma refers to spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. The channels of air-filled cavities provide a low-resistance internal pathway for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and ethylene between the plant above the water and the submerged tissues. Aerenchyma is widespread in aquatic and wetland plants which must grow in hypoxic soils.

Definition of aerenchyma in the English dictionary

The definition of aerenchyma in the dictionary is plant tissue with large air-filled spaces, which is typical of aquatic plants and allows air to reach waterlogged parts.
