Although you cannot see the roots of any types of trees the roots in the Acacia tree go further down than any other tree so they can get to moisture that they desperately need in the dry seasons.
The leaves on the Acacia tree have adapted by being small and waxed covered so that it can cut down all the water loss in the wet seasons so they have enough water in the dry seasons.
