Prop roots develop from horizontally spread branches of the tree while stilt roots arise from basal nodes of the stem near the soil. Moreover, prop roots grow vertically downwards the soil while stilt roots grow obliquely downwards the soil. Prop roots appear as pillars while stilt roots appear as ropes of a tent.
