Hiking
Breathing knees, knee roots or air knees are formed by some swamp and mangrove trees. They break through the soil surface as root loops or negative-gravitropic (growing in the opposite direction of gravity) outgrowths of the horizontally oriented, near-surface underground root system. Breathing knees serve as pneumatophores; their aerenchyma (ventilation tissue) ensures the gas exchange of the underground root system in the oxygen-poor sediment.
