Plants in a desert ecosystem are likely to have adaptations to conserve water, such as thick waxy coatings or small leaves, while plants in a rainforest ecosystem will have adaptations for high moisture levels, like broad leaves or aerial roots. Desert plants also often have deeper root systems to reach water sources underground, whereas rainforest plants may rely more on shallow roots to access nutrients in the topsoil.
