xerophyte
This term is primarily used in botanical and ecological discourse to categorize plants based on their physiological relationship with water. It carries a clinical, scientific tone and is rarely used in casual conversation, where terms like desert plant are more common.
Because it describes a biological classification, the word implies a suite of specific evolutionary traits, such as succulent tissues or waxy cuticles, rather than just a plant that happens to live in a dry area.
