Xerophytes are plants adapted to arid conditions, reducing water loss through fewer leaves, a thick waxy cuticle, and sunken stomata.
Gerofitlar qurgʻoqchil sharoitlarga moslashgan oʻsimliklardir va ular kamroq barglari, qalin mumli qutikula va chuqurlashgan changchilari bilan suv yoʻqotilishini kamaytiradi.

|---|---|
| Back | - adapted to dry habitats with low water availability e,g cacti and conifers adaptions - less stomata, so less water loss but also less gas exchange - less leaves, lowers water loss - thick waxy cuticle, which lowers water loss - sunken stomata, located in pits with low air movement, allowing humid air, lowering WP gradient so less transpiration |
