Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason for the growth of coralloid roots above the ground.

Introduction: The coralloid roots help the growth of the plants in a nutrient deficient area such as mountains, where the layer of soil is very thin, and there are rocks beneath this thin layer. The coralloid roots are formed as a result of a symbiotic association with Cycus spp. And other related genera with the higher plants.
