The African welwitchsia manages to survive in the Sahara desert due to its extremely deep roots

The African peyote cactus is built with thick stems. The thickness of the stems helps the plant to hold back water for a considerable amount of time. The leaves of the cactus are reduced to spines. This helps in preventing water loss from the stomata, due to evaporation.
