Adaptations that enable plants to reduce water loss from leaves are:
thick waxy cuticle - reduce evaporation
reduced leaf surface area (eg. needles - cacti)
closing stomates at midday, when hottest or during the day - reduce traspiration
fewer number of stomates
store water for long periods of time and absorb it quickly, usually plants have and extensive shallow root system
have long roots, and loose their leaves - reduce stranspiration and absob water from dry soil
seasons, grow and die in one season
Physiological adaptations
being CAM plants vs C4 plants

How can Xeriscaping help conserve water?
Xeriscaping emphasizes on using native plants to beautify your space and conserve water. Native plants usually require less water to thrive on as compared to foreign plants. Which means the frequency of watering your plants goes down. In this way Xeriscaping helps conserve water while gardeining. Check out the link below for some cool tips on Xeriscaping.
What are some adaptations that deserts plants have developed?

In order to deal with other organisms attempting to consume it for this water, it has developed thorns which harm potential consumers.
Why did marine plants require so many adaptations to be successful land-dewellers?
Marine plants had tp overcome the obstacles presented by a dry enviorment by making adaptations to their structures. They developed an outer, waxy surface to reduce water loss, they developed seeds and spores in order to facilitate reproduction, and they deleopled mycorrhizae to help absorb nutrients from soil.
