1.Prop roots develop from the upper horizontal branches of the tree whereas stilt roots develop from the basal node of the plant stem.
2. Prop roots grow vertically whereas the stilt roots grow obliquely from the basal node.
3. Prop roots give support like a pillar whereas stilt roots work like ropes of a tent.
4. Young prop roots are hygroscopic whereas young stilt roots are not hygroscopic.
Prop roots are found in banyan whereas stilt roots are found in maize and sugarcane.
