Description

A xerophyte is a species of plant that has adaptations to survive in an environment with little liquid water. Examples of xerophytes include cacti, pineapple and some gymnosperm plants. The morphology and physiology of xerophytes are adapted to conserve water during dry periods. Some species called resurrection plants can survive long periods of extreme dryness or desiccation of their tissues, during which their metabolic activity may effectively shut down. Plants with such morphological and physiological adaptations are said to be xeromorphic. Xerophytes such as cacti are capable of withstanding extended periods of dry conditions as they have deep-spreading roots and capacity to store water. Their waxy, thorny leaves prevent loss of moisture.

वे पौधे जो शुष्क स्थानों में उगते हैं, मरूद्भिद कहलाते हैं। ये पौधे जिन स्थानों पर उगते हैं, वहाँ पर प्राप्य जल या तो बहुत कम होता है या इस प्रकार का होता है कि पौधे उसे प्रयोग नहीं करते। नागफनी, यूफोर्बिया, एकासिया, कैजुराइना आदि कैक्टस वर्गीय शुष्क स्थानों एवं रेगिस्तानों में उगने वाले पौधे मरूद्भिदों के सुन्दर उदाहरण हैं। ये पौधे प्रायः आकार में छोटे एवं बहुवर्षीय होते हैं। कैक्टस की कुछ प्रजातियाँ तो ८० वर्षों तक जीवित रहती हैं। शुष्क स्थानों में पाये जाने वाले ये पौधे विपरीत परिस्थितियों से बचने के लिए अनुकूलित होते हैं।
