Geophytes
Geophytes are plants that survive adverse conditions by storing energy and nutrients in underground structures, such as bulbs, tubers, or corms. These adaptations allow them to endure periods of drought or cold, emerging again when conditions improve. Common examples of geophytes include daffodils, tulips, and potatoes.
These plants play a vital role in ecosystems, providing food and habitat for various organisms. Geophytes are often found in diverse environments, from grasslands to forests, and they contribute to soil health by stabilizing it and preventing erosion. Their unique life cycle makes them resilient and important for biodiversity.
