Plants that grow in the savanna, or other semi-arid areas, have characteristics that usually help the plant reduce water loss or gain water. They may have any combination of the following characteristics:
- very small, numerous leaves
- shed their leaves during the dry season
- thorny stems to dissuade animals from eating their leaves and reduce water loss
- fine hairs ("trichomes") on their leaves
- very long tap roots to reach underground sources of water (trees)
- dense adventitious roots to prevent being pulled out by grazing animals
- thick trucks to store water (e.g. baobab)
- store water in their roots underground
- grow rapidly during the wet season
