Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Halophytes are able to accumulate high amounts of sodium and chloride ions, commonly found in saline or brackish environments. This adaptation allows them to survive in high salinity soil or water where most other plants cannot. Therefore option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect as halophytes generally have a negative water potential due to their salt accumulation. Option C is incorrect as halophytes accumulate significant amounts of sodium and chloride ions in their tissues. Option D is incorrect as halophytes do have stomata, although they often have fewer and smaller stomata than non-halophytes to prevent excess water loss.
