Question

what are the characteristics of desert plant​

Answer 1

Answer:

☄️ The plants that grow in deserts or in very dry places where there is the scarcity of water are called xerophytes. Examples- cactus, asparagus, agave, euphorbia and yucca.

Xerophytic adaptations are as follows:

• Extensive root systems which go deep into the soil in search of water.

• Roots have numerous root hairs to absorb water.

• Leaves are reduced, small, scale-like.

• Leaves are modified into spines as in cactus.

• Leaves are coated with cuticle to check loss of water.
