The cacti (in general) have made many modifications to collect, store and retain water. Adaptations include:
It all depends on the place it is in.
In a particular desert there is an ocean nearby. The water condensates and then the cacti take all of the moisture in. It keeps that for a long time.
Any water possible, it will soak up like a sponge.
Cacti can live in the desert because, inside of the cactus there is a water system which stores water into the cactus from the ground. The roots are very long but they don't go very deep in the ground they stretch out their roots across the earth. When explorers are in the desert they tear open a cactus to get water, but they had to be careful of those sharp spikes [Because cacti has a waxy covering!]
They have the really sharp spikes so no other animas can take the water that they struggle to get, or so no other animal will try and eat them.
in the body of a catus, water is stored as not much rain falls where a cactus so water is stored to prevent the cactus from dying out. there are thorns on cacti to prevent it from being eaten by a predator.

they survive because the have long roots that go down in search of water, they don't get hot because they don't have big leaves, also their insides are full of water storage!
The roots of the desert plants grow deep or spread wide, to get water from the ground. They give off chemicals which slow down the growth of the roots of other plants. In this way they stop other plants from taking their share of water.
The main plant that is in the desert is the cactus. Cactus are able to hold water for extended periods of time in order to survive.
they store water in their stems,forexample, cactus plant
Extreme temperatures
Yes, there are a few species of ferns that have adapted to living in the desert. See the link below.
Describe any unique/special characteristics this plant has that helps it survive in this biome(how is this plant adapted to live in it's enviroment?)
No Sunflowers can not grow in the dessert. They are not adapted for that because they need moist soil. But cactus' live in the desert. A cactus is enabled to survive in hot and dry environments.
They survive by doing what a cactus does
it is because cactus can survive in the desert so it is found in Atacama Desert.
I don't have a answer
yes a cactus will survive because it stores water in its trunk for when it needs it most
Very few plants can survive the harsh environment of the desert. The cactus has well adapted to this dry and arid habitat. Wild flowers also are surprisingly abundant as well.
no,a cactus can't survive in northpole because it will become frozen and it would die. Cactus can almostly survive in any climate. In northpole it is very cold and the cactus is not adapted to low temperatures. Cactus need warmth and in northpole there is freezing weather and freezing water, cactus can't survive in northpole.
The main plant that is in the desert is the cactus. Cactus are able to hold water for extended periods of time in order to survive.
Their stems are thick and sponge-like.
by heat sunlightand being in da desert
No
it watches brave wilderness
