Question

What is the xeric condition?

Answer 1

Hint: The word Xeric is characterized by a lack of moisture (or tolerating or adapted to dry conditions). The term "xeric" is derived from the Greek word "xerox," which means "dry." The term "xeric" was coined in 1926 and was widely used in science by the 1940s.

Complete answer:
Morphological adaptation is a structural change that increases an organism's chances of survival in its environment. The desert is home to the Fennec fox. It has large ears as a structural adaptation. This allows heat to be radiated from the body, which aids in cooling.
The Denver Water Board coined the term "xeric" in the early 1980s to describe a type of plant that evolved in response to drought. A xerophyte is a plant species that have evolved to survive in environments with little liquid water, such as a desert or ice- or snow-covered region in the Alps or the Arctic.
When soil moisture is low or nonexistent, xeric adapted plants have special cells that hold water for photosynthesis. Xeric-adapted plants can be 95 percent water, whereas most plants are only 75 percent water. Reduced(absent) leaf area: Plants lose less water by reducing the number of leaves and their surface area. The main difficulties that xerocoles must face are a lack of water and excessive heat.

Note:
As they have deep-spreading roots and the ability to store water, xerophytes like cacti can withstand prolonged periods of drought. Their thorny, waxy leaves keep moisture from evaporating. Water can be stored in their fleshy stems as well.
