Asparagus

Asparagus comprises a diverse family of flowering plants, mostly recognized for their long, slender leaves and branching growth form. Many species exhibit a remarkable adaptation to dry environments through their thick, fleshy roots that store water, supporting survival in arid conditions. The small, bell-shaped flowers, often white or green, are typically clustered, adding to their distinctive appearance.
