Being able to store water, and to have a waxy surface to reduce water loss, are the two main adaptations.
They consist of weeds,and desert plants and tittys
cactus and dates were the native plants of deserts
wide-spreading, shallow roots
Plants in the desert are shorter & have developed the adaptation to survive long periods of drought & hot weather

Some desert plants have this adapatation, this enables them to capture the smallest amount of rain that may fall on the surface, others use this to collect dew from the surface of the soil that forms at some times of the year. Desert plants that are located in area that recieve costal fog are know for this adaptation (Welwitchia plants of the Nambib Desert for example)
cactus
Yes, plants like cacti that live in the desert tend to have fewer stomata compared to plants in the rainforest. This adaptation helps reduce water loss through transpiration, as stomata are the primary sites for water vapor to exit the plant. The reduced number of stomata in desert plants helps them conserve water in dry environments.
Small leaves minimize water loss.
The cuticle is very thick in aquatic plants and desert plants as a protective adaptation to their respective environments. In aquatic plants, a thicker cuticle helps prevent the loss of water due to evaporation, while also providing some protection from pathogens in the water. In desert plants, a thick cuticle serves to minimize water loss in an environment where moisture is scarce, helping them retain internal hydration. Both adaptations ensure that these plants can survive and thrive in their challenging habitats.
Being nocturnal is an adaptation that helps desert animals survive because _____. hurry plz :)
