Question
Why xerophytic adaptations are found in hydrophytes?
Answer
Xerophytic adaptations are found in hydrophytes when they grow in regions with excess water or soil with poor drainage. This is because excess water can create hypoxic or anaerobic conditions that can cause damage to the root system. In such conditions, xerophytic adaptations such as reduced leaves, thick cuticles, and modified stems can help the plant conserve water and nutrients and survive in the wetland environment.
