Hello,

Yes rhizophora possess peneumatophores. Pneumatophores are modification of stem. Due to the swampy environment the supply of oxygen gets restricted and  pneumatophores arise to increase oxygen uptake for respiration. Rhizophora species have stilt roots or prop roots these roots arises from the trunk or branches of the mangrove and grows toward the soil where the stilt root will develop an underground root system.
