The resurrection plant, scientifically known as Selaginella lepidophylla, is a unique species that can survive extreme dehydration. Found primarily in arid regions of North America, this plant can lose up to 95% of its water content and still revive when exposed to moisture. Its ability to enter a dormant state allows it to withstand harsh conditions for extended periods. When the resurrection plant absorbs water, it quickly rehydrates and resumes its green, leafy appearance. This remarkable process can occur within hours, showcasing the plant's resilience. The resurrection plant is often studied for its potential applications in biotechnology and agriculture, particularly in developing drought-resistant crops.
