Mention the difference between aerial roots and prop roots.......

Dear student,
Please find below the answer:

Aerial roots are adventitious roots that grow above the ground. They are exposed to air all the time. 

An adventitious root that arises from the trunk of the tree penetrates the soil, and helps support the stem is known as prop root. The banyan tree is one such example that has prop roots.

Prop roots are a type of aerial roots only.

Hope this information clears your doubt.
Regards.
