Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Xerophyte

👉 The term "xerophyte" is commonly used in botany to describe a type of plant that grows only on dry, nutrient-poor soil. Xerophytes are characterized by their lack of roots and leaves, which allow them to survive in environments that are often very dry. They do not produce flowers or fruits, but they can still play an important role in the ecosystem through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.
