👉 Photophilous refers to a type of plant that has developed specialized structures on its leaves or stems, known as photophores. These photophilous plants have evolved to help them in photosynthesis, which is the process by which they convert sunlight into energy for their own growth and survival. The presence of these photophores enables them to absorb light energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food through a process called chloroplasts.
