xerophyte
It may be a mesophyte, hydrophyte or xerophyte depending on the environmental conditions
The water lily is a plant that can behave as both a xerophyte and a hydrophyte. Its leaves and flowers are adapted for aquatic life, but its rhizomes can survive drought conditions by going dormant until water returns.
Yes, it has a thick waxy cuticle. This reduces water loss because the outer waxy coating on leaves slows transpiration; many coastal plants have a thick glossy coating on the leaves, reducing water loss, because this is one of the main area's water is lost through. because the aloe Vera has this feature it is adapted to a an environment with little water; which means it is classed as an xerophyte.
Xerophyte
It is a XEROPHYTE
Xerophyte is the term that describes a desert plant such as a cactus. Xerophytes are well-adapted to survive in arid conditions by storing water in their fleshy stems or leaves and reducing water loss through specialized adaptations like spines or waxy coatings.
A xerophyte is a species of plant that can survive extremely long periods without water and has adapted to environments that present such challenges. Xerophytes are important to biologists, who study the unique way xerophytes conserve water.
Xerophyte
One difference is that a cactus is actually a plant related to a shrub more than a tree. Trees are normally found where a water source is abundant and Cacti are normally found in a central location where ground water is present.
sand lovingANS 2 -Hydrophyte (with a Y) is an aquatic plant. ie -the kind of plant you may have in an aquarium.
