The key difference between Hydrophytes, Mesophytes, and Xerophytes is that Hydrophytes are adapted to aquatic environments, Mesophytes are adapted to average water and average temperature environments and Xerophytes are adapted to dry habitats. Plants grow in diverse environments including desserts.

Hydrophytes show different types of adaptations to survive in water.
- These adaptations are thin cuticle or no cuticle, presence of a large number of stomata; stomata are kept open all the time, plant structure is simple, leaves possessing air sacs, flat and broad leaves, less roots density or no root system, roots can pick oxygen, feathery root system, etc.
Mesophytes are plants that grow in typically moderate conditions.
- Mesophytes are the terrestrial plants that we see in day to day lives. They are adapted to an average supply of water. And also, they can live in moderate temperature conditions.
- Mesophytes have a well-developed root system. They possess large leaves and average lengthier cuticles. The stomata are present on the lower epidermis of the leaves.
Xerophytes are plants that live in arid habitats.
- They are adapted to survive in a limited water supply. Xerophytes are primarily seen in deserts.
- Their adaptations include thick cuticles, small leaves with reduced leaf lamina, low stomata density, sunken stomata, stomatal hairs, rolled leaves, extensive roots, etc.
