👉 Phytolatrous is a scientific term that describes plants with a high content of lignin, which is a structural component of plant cell walls. This lignin content makes them less water absorbable and more resistant to drying out. Phytolatrous plants are also known for their ability to grow in a variety of environments, such as arid or desiccated habitats, due to the presence of lignin that helps to insulate them from the environment's temperature changes.
