Sunken stomata are found in Correct Answer xerophytes
The correct answer is xerophytes.
Key Points
- Xerophytes are plants found in the desert area.
- They require the least amount of water. In deserts there is a scarcity of water thus the plants have to take their water from the underground water level.
- Their stomata are of sunken type (deep-seated) like cup – shape depression as it helps them to prevent the loss of water through transpiration.
- Examples of xerophytes are – Aloe vera, Pineapple, Cactus, etc.
Additional Information
- Hydrophytes are plants that are either partially or fully submerged into water.
- Partially submerged hydrophytes like Lilly have stomata present on their upper leaf surface (lower pat is submerged in water).
- Fully submerged hydrophytes like water ferns do not have stomata, instead of stomata, the plant's surface cells are capable of absorbing water, nutrients, and dissolved gases in the water.
- Mesophytes have generally stomata present on the lower surface of the epidermis
- Examples are corn(maize), clover, cucurbit, etc
- Parasite: The organism that lives on or inside other living organisms, to derive their food are called parasites. Amarbel (Cuscuta) is a ''parasite''.
