1. Xerophytes are the plants which grow in regions with scanty or no rainfall like desert.

2. In Xerophytes, leaves get modified into spines or get reduced in size to check the loss of water due to transpiration. 

3. As the leaves are modified into spines, the stem becomes green in colour to do the function of photosynthesis.
