Plants can live in the desert, not dessert, for many reasons. Desert plants give a low profile to the sun during the hottest periods of the day, they hold there their main body high off of the ground to avoid heat that radiates from the ground.
Plant hairs protect them from evaporative water loss and intense sun due to pigmentation. Some plants only germinate during wetter seasons, spending the intervening time underground.
Then my favorite is the use of CAM photosynthesis, in which, the stomata stay closed during the day to reduce evapotransperation and open during the night to collect carbon dioxide for use in carbon fixation.
