Q. Reduction in vascular tissue, mechanical tissue and cuticle is characteristic of:
A) Mesophytes
B) Epiphytes
C) Hydrophytes
D) Xerophytes
Explanation
[Solution from source] Water plants are supported by water and absorb water over their whole surface, so they have poorly developed xylem, little mechanical tissue and a thin or absent cuticle. Xerophytes show the opposite: thick cuticle and well-developed mechanical tissue. Answer (3).
