Question: Sorghum crop is considered as a camel crop because of:
Options:
Deep root system
Resistant to drought
Shallow root system
Nutrient exhaustiveness
• 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
