Silver palm roots may form associations with microorganisms like mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, enhancing nutrient uptake and oxygen availability. The palm’s roots may also develop specialized structures, such as aerenchyma and mucilaginous roots, to cope with low-oxygen conditions. These adaptations enable the palm to thrive submersed in freshwater springs.
