    Cactus is referred to as

    A)  Hydrophyte

    B)  Mesophyte

    C)  Xerophyte

    D)  Epiphyte

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Succulent plants store water in their stems or leaves. They include the Cactaceae family, which has round stems and can store a lot of water. The leaves are often vestigial, as in the case of cacti, wherein the leaves are reduced to spines, or they do not have leaves at all. Water is stored in the bulbs of some plants, at or below ground level. They may be dormant during drought conditions and are, therefore, known as drought evaders.
