Summary Introduction
To write:
The explanation for several structural features that help vascular plants to maintain stable internal water content.
Introduction:
Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain a stable internal state that persists without being affected by the outer environment. In vascular plants, several structural features help them to maintain their internal water content stable such as stomatal movement, short and spiny leaves in xerophytic plants, etc.
