Question

Why do xerophytes have extensive and well-developed root system?

(ANSWER ACC. TO CLASS 6)

Answer 1

$]\huge\purple{\mathfrak{Answer:-}}$

❥First we must clarify that xerophytes include many different plants. However, a commonality amongst these plants is that they have adapted to live in environments where the loss of water through evaporation and transpiration outweigh precipitation (think of an unbalanced water cycle) Root systems will vary depending on which type of xerophyte is being discussed.

Answer 2

Answer:

Xerophyte roots absorb water by osmosis. Roots are mostly well developed so that they have the best chance of absorbing as much water as possible due to the scarce amount of water in their environment, and this is also why they are close to the surface.
