Vedclass · Answer

(A) In epiphytic plants like $Orchid$,the roots are aerial and possess a specialized,multi-layered epidermis known as $Velamen$.This tissue is hygroscopic in nature,meaning it can absorb moisture directly from the atmosphere.It is located outside the cortex and facilitates the uptake of water and minerals from the air,which is essential for the survival of these plants since they do not grow in soil.
