One way that plants survive in the Arctic is by growing close together and close to the ground. Some plants have fuzzy coverings on their leaves, buds, and stems to protect them from the wind. Most plants are perennials that do not die during the winter.
They keep thereselves warm because they are very thick and under the ground it is not cold.
