Plants have developed several adaptations to cope with limited water availability, such as reducing water loss through transpiration by closing stomata, developing deep root systems to access groundwater, storing water in specialized tissues like succulent stems or leaves, and altering their growth and metabolism to conserve water during periods of drought. These adaptations help plants survive in arid environments and during times of water scarcity.
