Usually they will either have shallow rots to capture water from rain or deep tap roots to obtain water deeper within the soil. Different plants will often spread their roots at separate depths in order to avoid competition for water

What are the plants adaptations to the environment?
Plants have learned to adapt to land environments in interesting ways. Cactus in the desert have adapted to dry conditions by absorbing water when it is available to use later. They act like sponges. Some plants develop tap roots to get their water deep from the surface.

What are some vegetations in the desert and how do they adapt to their environment?
Most vegetation in the desert are cacti and thorny bushes. Throughout many years these plants have adapted to the harsh environment of the desert. For example the spikes of a cactus allow the plant to photosynthesise but reduce the loss of moisture and harm by the animals. The cactus also has a fleshy stem to store a large quantity of water (8000 litres of water). Another adaptation of the cactus is that it´s seeds can be dormant (inactive) for several years until it rains. The plants´ roots are very long but shallow to soak as much water as possible. Some other plants can also store water in small bulbs in their roots.
