👉 Mecas are a type of plant that is commonly found in tropical regions, especially those with high humidity levels and low temperatures. They are known for their ability to store large amounts of water and nutrients within their leaves, which allows them to survive long periods of drought or other environmental stresses. Mecas are also often associated with the concept of "meca" (meaning "water") in Latin, reflecting their importance as a source of drinking water for many indigenous communities.
