👉 Halophytes are plants that thrive in environments with high levels of dissolved hydrogen ions (H+) and low pH. They have a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria, fungi, and algae, which provides them with essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium through their metabolic processes. In contrast to other plants, halophytes do not require water for photosynthesis or growth. Instead, they rely on the presence of hydrogen ions (H+) as a primary source of energy in the
