Hydnora africana has adapted to survive in arid environments by developing a unique parasitic lifestyle, primarily feeding on the roots of host plants. Its subterranean growth allows it to avoid harsh surface conditions, while its fleshy, odor-producing flowers attract specific pollinators, such as carrion beetles. These adaptations enable it to efficiently obtain nutrients and reproduce in challenging habitats where other plants struggle to thrive.
