Specimen of xerophyte​

Explanation:

Xerophytes are plant species that become accommodated to exist in dry or desert circumstances. Xerophytes have grown to bear and endure in severe and rigid circumstances. They can be seen in the dry and hot deserts of Africa to the cold ice-covered Arctic.

The xerophytes use a variety of features to counter water deficiency. These include:

  • reduced leaf size
  • thick, fleshy leaves
  • waxy or hairy leaf coatings
  • leaves folding/repositioning
  • dense packing of leaves
  • low stomata density
  • extensive roots
  • water storage in stem and tubers
  • decreased stomatal thickness
  • slick stomata
  • have immersed stomata or open their stomata at nighttime only
