👉 Lignitiferous is a type of plant that grows on lignin, a complex carbohydrate found in wood and other organic materials. These plants are characterized by their ability to store energy efficiently, often through photosynthesis, allowing them to grow without the need for sunlight or water. This property, known as lignification, enables these plants to accumulate and utilize large amounts of energy during periods of high solar radiation, such as during summer months when temperatures rise rapidly.
