yes because it is usually is hot and when it raining they grow quickly because they don't need to collect warmth again lol :D
Plant seeds need water to germinate, grow into a mature plant and then reproduce. Water in the desert is a rare commodity so when sufficient rain does fall, the seeds quickly sprout and grow, bloom and form more seeds. It's a matter of a survival adaptation.
Tumbleweeds prefer areas of disturb soil in the desert, especially along roads and highways. Seeds can lay dormant for many months, even years waiting for moisture. Once rain does arrive the seeds sprout rapidly and grow into adult plants that produce seeds for the next generation.
Some plants have long roots to get water deep in the soil, or branched roots to get water over a wide area. With thick waxy layer on the stems and leaves, water can be retained and the tissues are protected from strong sunshine. Some plants have pin-like leaves to reduce water loss. Many desert plants are succulents and they store water in their swollen stems or leaves. Some desert plants are the " drought evaders" . They exist as seeds before the rain comes, and grow when it rains. They flower quickly to produce seeds and then die. There are " drought resisters" --- perennial plants that possess the abilities of storing water, locating underground water or minimizing the use of water by various measures.
Deserts usually receive most of their rain during brief, summer rainy seasons. Plants must take advantage of the moisture when available and germinate, grow, bloom and produce new seeds before the soil dries out again.
The life cycle of marigolds begins with seed germination, which typically occurs within a week when seeds are planted in warm, moist soil. Once germinated, seedlings grow into young plants, developing leaves and roots. As they mature, marigolds produce vibrant flowers, which attract pollinators and can last several months. Finally, once the flowers wilt, they produce seeds, completing the cycle as these seeds can be collected and planted to grow new marigold plants.
Yes, especially annuals. Rain causes the seeds in the soil to germinate quickly, grow quickly, flower quickly and produce seeds that are then scattered on the soil to wait for the next good rain.
The rainy season is short in the desert so plants must grow rapidly so as to complete their life cycle and produce seeds before dry weather sets in again.
Most of the seeds will be eaten by birds and rodents, some will be washed away in flash floods or wind storms. Few seeds will survive to possibly grow in the future. Plants produce so many seeds to assure the survival of the species.

Rain is rare in most deserts and comes mostly during short rainy seasons. Many plants have adapted to this and will quickly sprout from seeds, grow rapidly and produce new seeds during the brief wet season in deserts.
Some desert plants, primarily annuals, will grow quickly if sufficient rain is received. Seeds quickly germinate and the plant rapidly grows, produces flowers, then seeds and soon dies as the source of water disappears. The new seeds may remain dormant for years until another heavy rain brings them to life and the cycle starts all over.
Usually, bigger plants do produce bigger seeds.
Angiosperms are plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit.
some plants produce seeds that develop inside of what?

The seed produces another generation of that plant after germination.
Seasonal rains can cause seeds to sprout that may have lain dormant for years. They quickly growm flower and produce new seeds before the drought returns.
