Question

The plants that grow on saline soils with high concentration of $NaC{l}_2$, $MgS{O}_4$ and $MgC{l}_2$ are called as

• A. Succulents
• B. Mesophytes
• C. Xerophytes
• D. Ephemarals
• E. Halophytes

Answer 1

The correct option is E Halophytes

A halophyte is a plant that grown in waters of high salinity, coming into contact with saline water through its roots or by salt spray, such as in saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs and sea shores. Halophytes prefer saline soils with high concentration of $NaC{l}_2$, $MgS{O}_4$ and $MgC{l}_2$.
