Among the four groups of organisms—plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms—certain plants (like succulents and cacti), some animals (such as reptiles and desert-dwelling mammals), and microorganisms (like certain bacteria and archaea) are adapted to live in dry environments. These organisms have developed specialized features, such as water storage, reduced water loss, or unique metabolic pathways, to survive in arid conditions. Fungi typically thrive in more moist environments and are less adapted to dry habitats.
