Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Three important adaptations that allow plants to reduce water loss.
Introduction:
Water is an important component in almost all reactions carried out in a living organism and hence plants also require water. Since they cannot move to different places, they have developed some adaptations that prevent water loss from the leaves.
