An example of a Xerophyte is Cactus.

The plants that live in xeropyhytic conditions have several adaptations. They have the ability to survive in little or no water.

They lack leaves and have thick stem that perform the process of photosynthesis.

They have thorns and waxy coating so as to prevent the loss of water.

Example: Pineapple, cactus and some other gymnosperms.
