thick leaves
Plump plant parts
Thick leaves are leaves with fleshy, substantial tissue rather than thin, papery structure.
Plants in arid environments often develop thick leaves to store water—succulents like aloe and jade plants are typical examples.
The thick leaves of the rubber plant make it drought-tolerant.
In gardening and botany, leaf thickness indicates a plant's adaptation to its environment.
