A hyperaccumulator is a category of metallophyte that is capable of growing in soil or water with a higher concentration of metals, absorbing the metals through its roots and storing it in its foliage. The metals are concentrated at levels that are toxic to closely related species not adapted to growing on the metalliferous soils.
