उत्तर

Basis of Difference Xerophytes Mesophytes
Habitat Xerophytes grow in very dry habitats, such as deserts. Mesophytes grow where water availability is moderate.
Water availability Xerophytes are adapted to limited water and prolonged dry conditions. Mesophytes grow in soil that is neither excessively dry nor waterlogged.
Adaptations Xerophytes commonly have features that conserve or store water. Mesophytes generally have well-developed roots and leaves suited to ordinary water availability.
Examples Cactus and Acacia are examples of xerophytes. Mango, mustard, and maize are examples of mesophytes.
