Xerophytes are plants that are adapted to dry (arid) conditions where water is scarce.
They have special features to reduce water loss and store water, such as:
Thick cuticles to minimize evaporation.
Sunken stomata to reduce transpiration.
Fleshy stems or leaves for water storage (e.g., Cactus).
Other Options:
Mesophytes → Grow in moderate water conditions (e.g., Mango, Rose).
Lithophytes → Grow on rocks (e.g., Lichens, Orchids).
Hydrophytes → Grow in water (e.g., Lotus, Water Hyacinth).
