Answer:

Plants adapted to dry, hot and arid climates are considered xerophytes. Examples include the entire yucca family, acacia trees, and mesquite trees.

Since mesophytes prefer moist, well drained soils, most crops are mesophytes. Some examples are corn (maize), cucurbits, privet, lilac, goldenrod, clover, and oxeye daisy.
