Aerenchyma helps hydrophytes by having large air spaces that increase buoyancy and create a low-resistance internal pathway for oxygen, helping plants cope with anoxic conditions.
El parénquima aerífero ayuda a los hidrófitos al tener grandes espacios de aire que aumentan la flotabilidad y crean una vía interna de baja resistencia para el oxígeno, ayudando a las plantas a sobrevivir en condiciones anóxicas.
