Question

Presence of high concentration of cell sap, development of water storage tissue, underground perennating organs, lignified and cutinised tissue, well-developed root system, and reduction in leaf size, are characteristic feature of ______.

Answer 1

Presence of high concentration of cell sap, development of water storage tissue, underground perennating organs, lignified and cutinised tissue, well-developed root system, and reduction in leaf size, are characteristic feature of xerophytes.

Explanation:

Xerophytes are plants adapted to survive in dry habitats by minimizing water loss through morphological and anatomical modifications such as small or reduced leaves, thick cuticle, sunken stomata, and water storage tissues in stems or leaves. They also have well-developed root systems to absorb water efficiently and other structural changes to withstand drought conditions.
