Sunken stomata occur in

  • xerophytes

  • hydrophytes

  • mesophytes

  • opsanophytes


A.

xerophytes

sunken stomata is a stomata in a small pit, which protects the escaping water vapor from air currents, decreasing water loss from the leaf. Sunken stomata are commonly found in plants in arid environments as one of their adaptations to preserve water.
