Plants are generally not found on polar ice caps due to the extreme cold temperatures and lack of soil for growth. However, some lichens, mosses, and algae can survive in these harsh conditions by growing on rocks or ice surfaces where minimal nutrients are available. These plants are adapted to survive in low temperatures and limited sunlight.
