Xerophyte

Xerophyte (Cacti) 

Xerophytes are plants that have learned to adapt to dry habitats and water loss. Some of these adaptations include the capacity to store water, waxy and hairy leaf coatings, or even reposition leaves to reduce sunlight absorption. Common examples of xerophytes are the Cactaceae family. Succulents in particular are known to store water in their stems or leaves. Others store the water in bulbs below ground level.
