👉 Xerophilous refers to a type of plant that grows in arid and semi-arid environments. These plants are adapted to survive without water, as they do not secrete any form of water. They are known for their ability to tolerate low temperatures and limited sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis. Xerophilous plants can also grow well in soil that is rich in organic matter, making them suitable for cultivation in areas with limited resources.
