a. These roots normally arise from a few lower nodes of a weak stem in some monocots, shrubs and small trees.
b. They show obliquely downward growth penetrating soil and provide mechanical support to the plant.
c. In the members of family Poaceae, the plants like Maize, Jowar, Sugarcane etc. produce stilt root in whorl around the node.
d. These roots provide additional support to the plant body.
e. In Screw pine or Pandanus (Kewada), stilt roots arise only from the lower surface of obliquely growing stem for additional support. These roots show multiple root caps.
