Root Regions & Modifications Labelled parts: Region of Maturation, Region of Elongation, Meristematic Region, Root Cap, Prop Roots, Stilt Roots, Pneumatophores. A thimble-like structure protecting the tender apex of the root. The zone of active cell division found just above the root cap. Specialized aerial roots that grow upward to facilitate gas exchange in swampy areas (e.g., Rhizophora). Adventitious roots arising from heavy branches to provide pillar-like support (e.g., Banyan tree).
