Which of the following natural regions is dominated by xerophytic or drought-resisting scrub with long roots, few or no leaves, and waxy or needle-shaped foliage?
Hot desert (Sahara type) region
Xerophytic (drought-resisting) plants survive extreme aridity through adaptations like very long roots to tap deep water, few or no leaves to cut transpiration, and waxy or needle-shaped foliage.
These features are characteristic of the vegetation of the hot desert (Sahara type) natural region, where rainfall is scanty and temperatures are high.
The British-type cool temperate region has deciduous forests, Mediterranean woodland has broad evergreen and citrus vegetation, and steppe grasslands are dominated by short and tall grasses, none of which are true xerophytic scrub.
Hence, this vegetation dominates the Hot desert (Sahara type) region.
