∙ 14y agoDesert organisms, as cacti, have thick, round trunks to store water for long periods of drought in the future. They have especially long roots to reach far places in which water may be supplied, then stored. Animals in the desert either live in or get water from cacti so they are able to survive also.

∙ 11y agoDesert plants stay alive in a number of ways.
Firstly they have very shallow root systems which spread very wide which are really useful for sucking up every possible drop of rain which lands on the ground without needing to have the water soak in deep.
Secondly they often have spines, poisons, or other forms of deterrents which are aimed at deterring desert animals from eating them.
Thirdly many have hard dry outer shells which help seal the moisture inside the core which is often very very juicy.
These are the three basic methods that desert plants stay alive however there are others unique to different plants such as slowly metabolisms, less reliance on water and being able to draw nitrogen out of the atmosphere instead of the ground.
