Yes, due to the very low humidity, deserts experience more evaporation than precipitation.
Deserts receive less than 10 inches of rain per year.
Deserts are defined as regions that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average. Some deserts receive virtually no precipitation, however.

The are certain very cold places which receive a desert-like rain-fall however in these places evaporation is close to nil particularly in winter so there is alway some 'water' around albeit in the frozen state. A large portion of the Canadian arctic is just such a place, a cold desert, at the same time possessing a large fraction of the world's fresh water.
All deserts are dry - the only common factor for all. The desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation annually on average. Some deserts receive virtually no rainfall.
The weather is very dry, less than 250mm precipitation, or, less precipitation than is lost through evaporation. Desert is not necessarily related to hot temperatures; the two largest deserts are the Arctic and Antarctic, each more than 50% larger than the #3 contender, the Sahara.
The main characteristic that defines a desert is lack of precipitation. A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year on average. The desert also has a high evaporation rate and evaporation and transpiration far exceed the annual precipitation.
Evaporation then condensation than precipitation.
Grasslands, rainforests, the taiga, savanna and some other biomes receive more precipitation than the desert.
Yes. If they received more than 250 mm of precipitation on average per year they would not be classified as deserts.
In deserts, high temperatures can lead to evaporation of water faster than it can be replenished, limiting water availability for plants. Soil composition in deserts is typically poor in nutrients and organic matter, making it challenging for plants to grow. Additionally, low annual precipitation levels in deserts reduce the amount of water available for plant growth, further limiting productivity.
Tropical rainforests contain more/higher biodiversity than deserts since their conditions are a lot more ideal for the growth of organisms.
a rate of evaporation higher than precipitation
A dry climate, such as a desert climate, typically experiences higher evaporation rates than precipitation. This imbalance leads to arid conditions and low annual rainfall.
