On flat land as they live in tidal areas that get covered by water.
A mangrove is a shrub or small tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves occur worldwide in the tropics and subtropics, mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S.

Usually flat land, I mean they could be on a hill or ledge potentially but not on like mountains or anything like that. They usually grow in marshy areas. Hope this helped!
