Best Answer

Succulent plants are water-retaining plants adapted to arid climate or soil conditions.

They generally have thick, fleshy leaves, a well defined (if noth thickened cuticle) covering the leaves, may sometimes have water (or fluid) storage organs, and generally have shallow adventisious root systems.

Examples may include: cacti, Mesembryanthemum, Delosperma, Cotyledon, Portulacaria and Lithops
