Answer:
Xerophytes live in areas with very little water in the soil; some can survive through both very wet and very dry periods. This means that while they are commonly found in deserts, xerophytic plants may also grow in salt marshes, frozen land masses like the Arctic and Antarctic, or tropical forests.
