Plants growing in hot and dry places are called xerophytes

Explanation:

  • Plants require water to survive. Dry conditions are those in which there isn't enough water for plants to survive, thus they develop adaptations to retain or store water in dry environments.
  • Xerophytes are plants that thrive in water-scarce environments such as deserts, alps, and the arctic. They have unique characteristics that allow them to thrive in such extreme hot or cold climates with limited water resources.
  • Cactus is a xerophytic plant, which means it possesses adaptations such as a swelling stem to store water and needle-shaped modified leaves to prevent transpiration.
  • Pine trees and different gymnosperm species, which are plentiful in cold climates, are other examples. As a result, xerophytes are plants that can flourish in dry environments.
