Answer:
Adaptations of plants to water scarcity
Xerophytic plants are the plants that can survive water scarcity. They have the following adaptations. A thick cuticle on stems and leaves which protect from excessive transpiration. These plants show the presence of sunken stomata which reduce the loss of water. There are certain thick walled cells of hypodermis which do not allow the passage of water and prevents water loss. The leaves are reduced in size and may be modified to form the spines that reduce the surface area for transpiration. The root system is highly developed for water absorption. In these pants the stem also performs photosynthesis.
