Describe how xerophytes are adapted to living in their habitat

Have thick, fleshy (succulent) and green stems; that are modified for water storage and photosynthesis;

stomata are reduced in number/located in cavities on the epidermis(sunken stomata) / located mainly on lower part of leaf surface/Exhibit reversed stomata rhythm to minimize transpiration;

Some are deep rooted; to enable them reach deep water table; others have superficial roots; to absorb surface water after a short shower;

In some leaves are permanently folded; to prevent direct exposure of stomata to environmental conditions thus minimizing transpiration;

Others shed off their leaves at the onset of dry season to minimize transpiration;

in some leaves are small in size/reduced in size to scale-like structures to minimize transpiration;
