👉 A Lithophyte is a type of plant that grows in arid, desert-like environments. They are characterized by their unique arrangement of leaves and stems, which have a flattened shape, often resembling an animal's ear or eye. These plants can be found in extreme conditions such as deserts, mountains, and even caves. Lithophytes are important for the maintenance of water levels, as they help to filter out pollutants from the air.
