Detailed explanation-1: -Mesophytes are terrestrial plants which are neither adapted to particularly dry nor particularly wet environments. An example of a mesophytic habitat would be a rural temperate meadow, which might contain goldenrod, clover, oxeye daisy, and Rosa multiflora.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptations of mesophytes The stem is generally straight and branched. The leaves are generally broad and thin. The presence of waxy cuticle in leaves traps the moisture and lessens water loss. Leaves have stomata which close in extreme heat and wind to prevent transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mesophytes, which include the majority of plants, trees, shrubs, and most crop plants, respond to water deficit by a closure of stomata to cut down on a loss of water through transpiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants that can survive in moderate climates are called mesophytes.
