Reduction in vascular tissue, mechanical tissue and cuticle is characteristic of:

1. mesophytes
2. epiphytes
3. hydrophytes
4. xerophytes

Correct answer: hydrophytes

Solution

Hydrophytes live in aquatic environments, so they do not need much vascular tissue, mechanical tissue, or a thick cuticle. These structures are reduced because water is readily available and support is partly provided by the surrounding water.
