K SURESH KUMAR · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [B]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant adaptations for nutrient absorption.
	**Related Topics**: Plant morphology, parasitic plants, root systems.
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant structures and functions.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* The question asks about plants with sucking roots.
	* The options are Betel, Cuscuta, Mangifera, and Solanum.
**Method & Steps**:
	1.	Recall the types of root systems.
		Reasoning: Some plants have specialized roots for specific functions.

		Result: Cuscuta is the correct answer.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Betel has normal roots for anchorage and absorption.
[B] ✓: Cuscuta is a parasitic plant that uses haustoria (sucking roots) to extract nutrients from its host.
[C] :x: Mangifera (Mango) has a taproot system for anchorage and absorption.
[D] :x: Solanum (Potato/Tomato) has a fibrous root system.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing parasitic plants with other types of plants.
			[How to avoid]: Review the characteristics of parasitic plants.
		2.[Error 2]: Not remembering specific plant adaptations.
			[How to avoid]: Study the different types of root systems.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that parasitic plants like Cuscuta often lack chlorophyll and rely on other plants for nutrition.
		2.[Memory aid]: Think of 'Cuscuta' as 'Cut-Suck' to remember its parasitic nature and sucking roots.
