Yes, pineApple (Ananas comosus) is a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. CAM plants, such as pineApple, have a unique photosynthetic adaptation that allows them to open their stomata at night to minimize water loss, storing carbon dioxide as malic acid. During the day, they close their stomata and use the stored carbon for photosynthesis. This adaptation helps pineApple thrive in arid conditions.
