Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Xerophytes are plants that are adapted to live in hot and dry environments. They have various adaptations to reduce water loss, such as thick cuticles, stomata in crypts, succulence, and leaf hairs (trichomes) to diffract light. However, having abundant leaves is not a characteristic of xerophytes, as they tend to have fewer leaves to reduce water loss.
