Question

Difference between hydrophytes mesophytes and xerophytes table

Answer 1

Answer:

What are Hydrophytes?

-Plants growing in aquatic environments are known as hydrophytes. Hydrophytic plants can be seen in freshwater bodies as well as in marine environments. Hydrophytes show different adaptations to survive in water.

These adaptations include thin cuticle or no cuticle, presence of high number of stomata, stomata kept open all the time, simple plant structure, flat and broad leaves, leaves possessing air sacs, less roots density or no root system, roots are able to pick oxygen, feathery root system, etc.

What are Mesophytes?

-Mesophytes are plants that grow in typically average conditions. Mesophytes are the terrestrial plants that we encounter on a daily basis. They are adapted to an adequate or average supply of water. And also they are able to live in average temperature conditions.

Mesophytes contain a well-developed root system. They possess large leaves and average lengthier cuticle. The stomata are located in the lower epidermis of the leaves.

What are Xerophytes?

-Xerophytes are the plants that live in dry habitats. They are adapted to survive in an extremely limited water supply. Xerophytes can be seen in deserts.

Their adaptations include thick cuticle, small leaves with reduced leaf lamina, low stomata density, sunken stomata, stomatal hairs, rolled leaves, extensive roots, etc.
