Through which part does photosynthesis occur in xerophytes?

Through which part does photosynthesis occur in xerophytes? Correct Answer Modified stems

In xerophytes, there is an adaption in which photosynthesis occurs with the help of modified stems to avoid water loss. Roots of xerophytes help in the storage of water. Scaly leaves do not help much in photosynthesis.
