Which adaptation allows mangrove ecosystems facing saltwater inundation to thrive?

💡 Explanation

Mangrove ecosystems thrive due to selective ion uptake, a process of osmotic regulation; this minimizes salt absorption by root cells. Therefore, mangroves can survive high salinity rather than succumbing to osmotic stress like many other plants because of salt exclusion.
