Question

What are halophytes?

Answer 1

Halophytes:

1. Halophytes are plants that can withstand salt.
2. They are greater osmotic pressure, salt-tolerant plants that thrive in more salinity and have the capacity to withstand higher salt concentrations.
3. Marshes and seashores are rife with halophytes.
4. In high salinity environments like mangrove swamps, marshes, seashores, and saline semi-deserts, halophytes—salt-tolerant plants—grow.
5. Halophytes comprise just 2% of all plant species on Earth.
6. Mangrove trees, thrift (Armeria), sea lavender (Limonium), and rice grass (Spartina) are some of the examples.
