The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Do plants need special morphological adaptations to grow in extreme heat, besides surfaces that deflect the sun's heat?
Hmm, I see. Are there any other morphological adaptations that plants use to survive extreme heat?
Yes, some plants have evolved the ability to conserve water by closing their stomata during the hottest parts of the day. Others have developed specialized structures such as spines, hairs, or other appendages to increase the surface area for evaporative cooling.
