Sunken stomata help xerophytes by being located in pits that reduce air movement, trapping moist air and decreasing the water vapor potential gradient, thus reducing transpiration.
Los estomas hundidos ayudan a los xerófitos al estar ubicados en fosas que reducen el movimiento del aire, atrapando aire húmedo y disminuyendo el gradiente de potencial de vapor de agua, lo que reduce la transpiración.
