Plants overcome desiccation through several adaptations. They often develop protective structures like a waxy cuticle on their leaves to reduce water loss. Additionally, many plants have deep root systems to access groundwater, while some can enter a dormant state during dry periods. Other mechanisms include closing stomata during hot weather to minimize transpiration and utilizing specialized metabolic pathways, like CAM photosynthesis, to conserve water.
