Structural adaptation of halophytic plant for water

A) Reduce water loss :

• Leaf with thick waxy cuticle
• Sunken stomata
• Erect leaf to reduce heat adsorption
• Epidermal hair

B) Storage :

• Succulent leaves
• Succulent stems
• Succulent roots

C) Remove excess salt :

• Salt gland
• Active pump salt out root xylem
• Keep low molecular mass of carbohydrate to lower the water potential
