A Correct answer
Explanation

A xerophyte is a species of plant that has adapted to survive in an arid environment, such as a desert. Hydrophytes are plants that have adapted to living in or on aquatic environments because living on or under water surface requires numerous special adaptations. Aquatic plants can only grow in water or permanently saturated soil. Mesophytes are terrestrial plants which are adapted to neither a particularly dry nor a particularly wet environment. Tropophytes are plants that are adapted to climatic conditions in which periods of abundant precipitation alternate with periods of dryness.
