Can you describe a succulent plant and why its adaptations are beneficial to living in the desert?
Succulent plants such as stonecrop (Sedum spp.) & cactus can store water in the specialized tissues of plant cells called vacuoles. In some desert plants the cells, unlike in the ordinary varieties of cultivated plants, can also survive extreme dehydration then rehydrate when water is available with little or no damage to the cells.
