What "succulent" means in gardening

A succulent is a type of plant that stores water in its leaves, stems or roots to survive in arid and dry environments. They often have thick, fleshy leaves or stems that help them to retain water for long periods of time, making them ideal for growing in hot and dry climates. Some common examples of succulents include cacti, aloe vera, agave, and jade plants. Succulents are popular among gardeners because they require minimal watering and care, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
