No the tundra does not have any time when the ground becomes hard and dry. The precipitation received in this biome is less than ten inches a year but there is very little evaporation so the soil never dries out.

What is the name of permanently frozen soil?

The permanently frozen ground in the northern latitudes is called permafrost. The layer closest to the surface that thaws during the summer is also part of the permafrost, but is called the active layer. Permafrost is a major feature of the tundra biome.In physical geography, tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term tundra comes from Kildin Sami tūndâr, which means "uplands, treeless mountain tract." There are two types of tundra: Arctic tundra (which also occurs in Antarctica) and alpine tundra. In tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline.
