Some plants, especially in the desert region can survive for days and months without water, compared to most plants that grows in the rainforests, savana regions e.t.c. The type of plants that can survive for days and even months, are referred to as the "ZEROPHYTES", they have the ability to survive in extremely dry areas.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ZEROPHYTES INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING;

  • They posses reduced leaves
  • They have thick waterproof cuticles
  • They have stomata that are tight closly
  • Some possess deep branched root system, to tap subsoil water. These are some of the most important features of the zerophytes and some examples are cactus, aloe e.t.c. Though no plant can survive without water but there are some plants that can live for Avery long period of time without water.

Why can most vascular plants grow much taller then nonvascular plants?

Non vascular plants have no internal "circulatory system" or any means of moving liquid and nutrients around their body. Therefore they need to grow low to the ground and in a moist environment in order to get their nutrients through osmosis through the ground. Vascular plants are able to get their nutrients delivered through the body through veins, allowing them to grow taller.


Why do few plants grow in North Africa?

North Africa has a harsh desert climate, with high temperatures, limited rainfall, and poor soil quality. These conditions make it difficult for many plants to thrive, limiting the diversity of plant species that can grow in the region. The plants that do survive in North Africa have adapted to these harsh conditions, such as cacti and other succulents that store water to survive in arid environments.

Can a plant grow by being watered with cool-aid?

Kool-aid is mildly acidic, and some plants do not do well in acidic soil. In any event, while it is possible to grow at least some plants with Kool-aid instead of water, the product is designed for people, not for plants, so I would advise that you use water to grow plants.
