The Doum palm (Hyphaene thebaica) has several adaptations that enable it to thrive in arid environments. Its fan-shaped leaves are adapted to reduce water loss by minimizing direct sun exposure, while its deep root system allows it to access groundwater. The thick, fibrous trunk provides structural support and helps store water, and its fruit, rich in nutrients, attracts animals for seed dispersal. These adaptations collectively enhance the Doum palm's resilience to harsh conditions.
