Water is very essential for life. Write any three features for plants which enable them to survive in water scarce environment.

The three features of plants which enable them to survive in water scarce environment are :
(i) The plants have leaves reduced, to spine to reduce the surface area and prevent loss of water by transpiration e.g. Opuntia
