1. Xerophytic plants are those that have adapted to dry environments.
2. They have adapted to arid conditions by storing water in stems.
3. Stomata of these plants remain closed during day time to reduce the rate of transpiration to bare minimum.
4. Leaves are modified into spines or are reduced in size to check the loss of water due to transpiration.
5. The waxy surfaces of xerophytic plants prevent the loss of moisture.
6. Thus, they are able to survive in high temperature.
