- A xerophyte is a plant species that has evolved to live in a dry environment, such as a desert or an ice- or snow-covered location in the Alps or the Arctic.
- Cacti, pineapple, and various Gymnosperm plants are common examples of xerophytes.
- During dry periods, xerophytes' structural traits (morphology) and fundamental chemical processes (physiology) have been altered in various ways to preserve water, which is also prevalent.
- Other species can withstand extended periods of intense dryness or desiccation of their tissues, during which their metabolic activity effectively stops.
- Xeromorphic plants are those that have certain morphological and physiological characteristics.
- Because they have deep-spreading roots and the ability to retain water, xerophytes, such as cacti, can tolerate prolonged periods of drought.
- Their prickly, waxy leaves keep moisture in the plant. Water may be stored in even their meaty stems.
