Plants that endures best at lower light intensity are called

  • A.Heliophytes
  • B.Halophytes
  • C.Sciophytes
  • D.Sporophytes

Answer: C

Plants that do best in low light are called sciophytes (shade-loving plants), option C.

Heliophytes love strong sunlight, halophytes grow in salty soil, and sporophytes are the spore-producing stage of the plant life cycle.

The word sciophyte comes from the Greek skia, meaning shadow, and these plants are found in the forest floor or in shade, where they photosynthesise at low light levels. Heliophytes are sun plants, halophytes live in saline soils, and sporophytes are not an ecological group of plants at all.
