Question 1 Report

A xerophyte conserves water by possession of the following features except
Answer Details
A xerophyte is a plant that has adapted to survive in environments with low water availability. To conserve water, xerophytes possess certain features such as a thick cuticle on leaves, sunken stomata to reduce water loss, and a fleshy stem to store water. However, xerophytes do not have broad leaves as this would result in increased transpiration and water loss, which is contrary to their water-conserving adaptation. Therefore, the correct answer is "broad leaves".
