How these xerophetes are able to withstand harsh environmental conditions ? like Heat and scarcity of water .
because it is natural environment to grow for xerophytes its conditions are suitable for spreading of xerophytes there
plants in areas of little or low water
xerophtes are adapted to grow in less water areas like deserts or the area covered with snows like arctic or antarctic regions. these plants has less overall surface area than other plants . so evaporation of water content is less
ex : cactus
Xerophytes adapt themselves according to desertic conditions. They thickened their stem and leave sheath and making themselves thorny thus in this way they conserve water loss and withstand harsh environemental conditions
