👉 "Desiccatory" is a word that refers to something that is very dry, parched or has little moisture. It can also mean unable to grow due to lack of water or nutrients. Desiccation is a condition where an organism's cells and tissues are dehydrated, leading to the death of the plant. Desiccatory plants often have small leaves, which do not produce chlorophyll, the pigment that converts sunlight energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
