The ‘camel’s hump’ is composed of an adipose tissue, which provides ‘water on oxidation’ whenever the camel requires.
The camel is an organism that lives in the desert where water and food are scarce. In addition these deserts also have extreme climatic conditions and thereby the camel needs a mechanism to regulate this temperature.
Thus, the fat tissue that is present on the surface of the camel thereby storing food and water, if the camel starves for a long time then the hump disappears.
