Aerial roots
roots that grow downward from the branches of a tree instead of upward from the ground, the way banyan trees create their cathedral-like structures.
If your child asks about Aerial roots, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Aerial roots in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
