Answer:Anatomical Adaptations of Xerophytes
1. Root hairs and root caps are well developed in Opuntia.
2. Roots may become fleshy to store water as in Asparagus
3. In succulent xerophytes, stems possess a water storage region (thin walled parenchyma cells)
4. Stems of non-succulent xerophytes show a very thick cuticle, well developed epidermis with thickened cell wall, several layered and sclerenchymatous hypodermis e.g. Casuarina.
5. The stems have sunken stomata and well developed vascular and mechanical tissues.
6. Leaves show well developed cuticle, succulent leaves in Aloe, multilayered epidermis in Nerium, sclerenchymatous and several layered hypodermis in Pinus, bulliform cells in Sugarcane.
7. Mesophyll is well differentiated and vascular tissues and mechanical tissues are well developed.
