Question

Xerophytes have long roots

• A. Due to light
• B. To draw water from deep water beds
• C. To give mechanical support
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B To draw water from deep water beds

The root system of the xerophyte is deep. While the deep root system allows it to maintain stability, it also allows the plant to absorb water deep below the surface. So, the plant can live over a year without any precipitation falling to the ground

So, the correct answer is 'To draw water from deep water beds'
