    Question: Sorghum crop is considered as a camel crop because of:

    Options:

    Deep root system
    Resistant to drought
    Shallow root system
    Nutrient exhaustiveness

    ✅ Explanation:

    • Sorghum is often referred to as a "camel crop" due to its remarkable ability to withstand drought conditions. Several factors contribute to this drought tolerance:
    -Extensive root system: While not necessarily exceptionally deep, sorghum's root system is extensive and efficient in extracting moisture from the soil.
    -Waxy leaves: The waxy coating on sorghum leaves reduces water loss through transpiration
    -C4 photosynthesis: Sorghum utilizes C4 photosynthesis, a pathway that is more water-use efficient than the C3 pathway used by many other plants
