A buttress root is NOT called a prop root.

A buttress root is a big, thick, snake-like root that runs on the surface of the ground near the tree and helps to hold the tree firmly in place.

A prop root/stilt root is a root that grows out of a branch and grows down to the ground to enter into the earth and to help hold the plant steady.
