Halophytes are plants that thrive in high-salinity environments, such as coastal areas, salt marshes, and salt flats. They have specialized adaptations that allow them to survive and grow in conditions where most plants would struggle. These adaptations include salt-excreting glands, thick cuticles, and modified root systems that help them manage salt intake and water loss. Examples of halophytes include mangroves, saltbush, and seablite. These plants play a crucial role in their ecosystems by stabilizing soil, providing habitat for wildlife, and contributing to carbon sequestration. Their ability to tolerate salt makes them valuable for research in agriculture and environmental restoration.
