Question

Many desert plants have a thick cuticle on their leaf surface and have stomata in deep pits. This is an example of?

• A. Behavioural Adaptation
• B. Physical Adaptation
• C. Mutation
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Physical Adaptation

Plants that live in the desert climate have various adaptations that help them survive and thrive. The stomata of many cacti lie deep in the plants’ tissues. This adaptation helps cacti reduce water loss by keeping the hot, dry wind from blowing directly across the stomata. The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. This is a physical adaptation.
