Are minerals and water taken in by roots?
Yes. Roots can also support the plants by digging deep into the soil where the plant survives.
Why do desert plants have shallow roots?
Due to an abundance of water the plants roots don't have to go deep to find water, therefore they stay in shallow terrain.
Why do long roots help some desert plants stay alive?
Long roots of desert plants penetrate deep in the soil in search of capillary water and absorb it for the plant's survival
How are plants roots adopted to take in water from the soil?
with taproots, the primary and secondary roots grow long. they can reach a deep water source. with fibrous roots, the fine, numerous roots allow fast absorption of water near the soil surface.
Why does the mesquite have long roots?
Mesquite trees have long roots to access deep water sources that are not readily available near the surface. These long roots help the plant survive in arid and drought-prone regions where water is scarce. The extensive root system also helps the mesquite tree stabilize itself in sandy or loose soil.
What plants that grow deep roots to find water are called?
Mesqite.
Why do some desert plants need deep roots?
To go deep for any moister resources the can reach.
Why do mountain plants have deep roots?

Is there water for desert plants?
Many desert plants only sprout and or grow during and after a rainy season in the desert. The remainder of the year when water is scarce the plants are, basically, dormant. They shut down most of their systems waiting for better times. Some desert plants have long tap roots that they can use to tap into moisture hidden deep in the soil.
Do cactus have deep roots?
No they don't. BEcause of their natural environment (the desert), where water is scarce, cacti develop shallow root systems. They are shallow, but they spread out, making it more likely that the plant would find surface water.
How are the roots of desert plants adapted to the environment?
Usually they will either have shallow rots to capture water from rain or deep tap roots to obtain water deeper within the soil. Different plants will often spread their roots at separate depths in order to avoid competition for water

Water - the roots of the plants go deep into the soil and absorb water 3. Nutrients - the roots of the plants go deep into the soil and absorb nutrients like phosporus, ammonia etc that are present in the soil
