Food decays slower in dry conditions primarily due to reduced moisture content, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast—organisms that thrive in moist environments. Additionally, dehydration slows down enzymatic activities and chemical reactions that contribute to spoilage. Without sufficient water, the overall metabolic processes of these spoilage organisms are significantly hampered, extending the shelf life of the food.
A dead animal would decay faster in a rainforest due to the warm and humid conditions that accelerate the decomposition process. In contrast, the dry conditions of a desert would slow down the decay process due to the lack of moisture and slower microbial activity.
Bacteria (which make your food decay) need moisture to live and they thrive in it!

When something is preserved in hot and dry conditions, it is called "mummification".
Locust thorns, like other plant materials, can take varying amounts of time to decay depending on environmental conditions such as moisture, temperature, and microbial activity. Generally, it can take several months to a few years for locust thorns to decompose fully. In dry or arid conditions, the decay process may be slower compared to more humid environments. Additionally, factors like the thickness of the thorn and whether it is in contact with soil can also influence the rate of decomposition.
they store food in their hump
Decomposition or rotting, very similar to human decomposition. There are 4 phases: Fresh Bloat Decay Dry Fresh occurs the first few days following death. Bloat or putrefraction causes odours and colour changes. Decay or Butyric Fermentation is mummification. Dry Decay the last of the soft tissue has eroded skeletonization occurs.
"Decay" refers to the natural process of breakdown and decomposition. To prevent decay, items can be stored properly, sealed in airtight containers, kept dry, or refrigerated. Certain preservation methods like canning, freezing, pickling, or drying can also help delay decay of food items.

If you've lost a tooth and keep it dry then it shouldn't decay.
Parts of most cars decay, especially rubber parts in hot, dry climates.
