Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Lichenize

👉 Lichenization is a process in which a plant cell, often a leaf or stem of an old tree, becomes covered with small, brownish-gray hairs. This hirsutism can be beneficial for the plant as it provides structural support and helps to protect against pests and diseases, but it may also be harmful if not managed properly.

👉 Lichenization is a process in which a plant's leaves transform into fungus-like structures called "lichens," resembling mosses and liverworts. This transformation occurs when the leaves of plants are exposed to an environment that contains harmful chemicals, such as those found in sunlight or heat. The lichen-like structures on the leaves eventually die off, leaving behind the original leaves.
