Answer:

Xerophyte survival characteristics:

Thick cuticle.

Stomatal closure.

Reduction in # of stomata.

Stomata hidden in crypts or depressions in leaf surface (less exposure to wind and sun).

Reduction in size of transpiration surface (lower leaf only).

Increased water storage.

Explanation:

Xerophyte adaptations increase water intake, limit water loss, and store water efficiently. Water intake adaptations include deep or widespread roots, and high salt content to increase osmosis. Xerophytes have thick cuticles, lost or finely divided leaves, reduced stomata, and CAM photosynthesis
