Xerophytes are desert plants which grow in dry and hot places. They have long and deep roots for absorption of water.

The stem of xerophytes contains water storage tissues. Stems of xerophytes possess caudex (swollen part of stem that stores water).

The leaves are modified into spines to minimize loss of water by transpiration. Stem and leaves usually contain tomentose (plant hairs) to reduce transpiration. Plant hairs form coating called tomentum on the surface of leaves and stem. The leaves of xerophytes are covered by thick, waxy cuticle.

Stomata are reduced in number and sucken below the epidermis. Stomata of xerophytes open at night.
