Caudiciform plants , or fat plants , are water retaining plant s adapted to arid climate or soil conditions. Caudiciform plants store water in their Plant stem stem bases, Plant stem stems and or root s. Many species of plant from different plant families have developed this form of storing water rather than in foliage or in fat leafless stems. Consequently, many caudiciform plants have temporary shoots and leaves that die back to the caudex or tuber at or underground when conditions become too dry and regrow once conditions improve. Many caudiciform succulents come from the dry areas of the tropics and subtropics , such as steppes , semi desert and desert . High temperatures and low Precipitation meteorology precipitation force plants to collect and store water in order to survive long dry periods.
