How do angiosperms survive drought?
They have a Trunk that stores their water so they can use it another time when they need it. Plants have adapted to drought by developing better water absorption root system. Conserving water and having devices to minimize transpiration rate by its areal parts.
Is the fibrous or the taproot better adapted for food storage?
taproot
Why is it false that sexual reproduction is the only mechanism for genetic change?
I believe that mutations are considered to play a part, whether genetically mutated or selected by the changes in an environment. Eg. In a wet environment type A will survive and dominate the population thereby producing more type mutations As in the nxt generation. However, should a drought hit and type B carries the genes tht enable it to survive droughts better, then the 3rd generation will mostly contain type B mutants.
When traits that help an organism survive so it has a better chance to reproduce?

Why fleshy taproot easier to uproot than plant with root system?
Taproots have one main root which has many other roots branching from it. With this, more roots hold on to the land better especially with one main root. Also, taproots can reach far underground to obtain water which makes it harder for the root to be uprooted.
