Drought-resistant plants are species that can survive with minimal water. They have adapted to arid environments by developing features such as deep root systems, thick leaves, and waxy coatings that reduce water loss. These adaptations allow them to thrive in conditions where other plants may struggle. Common examples of drought-resistant plants include succulents, cacti, and certain types of grasses. These plants are often used in landscaping to create low-maintenance gardens that require less irrigation. By choosing drought-resistant species, gardeners can conserve water and promote sustainable practices in their outdoor spaces.
