Some plants store moisture as a survival strategy to adapt to arid environments where water is scarce. By developing specialized structures, such as thick stems, fleshy leaves, or deep roots, these plants can retain water during dry periods. This adaptation allows them to sustain metabolic processes and survive prolonged droughts, ensuring their continued growth and reproduction. Examples of such moisture-storing plants include succulents and cacti.
