Xerophyte survival characteristics:

1. Thick cuticle.

2. Stomatal closure.

3. Reduction in # of stomata.

4. Stomata hidden in crypts or depressions in leaf surface (less exposure to wind and sun).

5. Reduction in size of transpiration surface (lower leaf only).

6. Increased water storage.

7. Thicker leaves and stems, or leaves reduced in #, or leaves drop off during dry season.

8. Leaves covered with silvery hairs (creates wind break & light reflective surface).

9. Deep taproots or widespreading fibrous roots near the soil surface.

10. Low growth form (reduces H2O loss from wind).

11. Reduced life cycles.

➡hope this helps you deaR ✌✌✌.

Answer 2

xerophytes:
thick cuticle
stomatal closure
lesser stomata
thin leaves
The above prevent transportation and help them to survive in dry areas.
