Study of plants found in xerophytic and aquatic conditions/habitats. And comment on their adaptations Introduction: Adjustment (acclimatization) of plants and animals for their survival and perpetuation, to their environment by means of special structures or functions, is known as adaptation The plants that can grow and survive in deserts, dry conditions of soil, and high temperature, are called xerophytes. All xerophytes show adaptations to reduce the loss of water due to transpiration. Some xerophytes show the presence of stored mucilage in the plant parts that help in retaining water.
