There are a number of plants adapted to the desert that are very toxic - Jimson Weed (Datura) and silver leaf nightshade are just two examples in the United States. There are dozens more.
No, root caps are not absent in xerophytes. They are present in xerophytes just like in other plant species. Root caps are important for protecting the root apical meristem as the root grows through the soil, regardless of the plant's environment.
A xerophyte is a species of plant that can survive extremely long periods without water and has adapted to environments that present such challenges. Xerophytes are important to biologists, who study the unique way xerophytes conserve water.
Xerophytes, plants adapted to arid environments, face challenges such as water scarcity, excessive heat, and high levels of solar radiation. To survive, xerophytes have developed strategies like succulence, reduced leaf surface area, and deep root systems to store water and minimize water loss through transpiration. Despite these adaptations, xerophytes are still vulnerable to drought conditions and may struggle to thrive in more temperate environments.
More plants living in the desert such as xerophytes are:- 1)calotropis 2)oputia 3)euphorbia 4)cactus 5)prickly pear
Xerophytes have more chloroplasts to efficiently carry out photosynthesis in arid conditions where water availability is limited. The increased number of chloroplasts allows for more efficient capture of sunlight and conversion of it into energy, helping xerophytes survive in dry environments.

same as xerophytes or most of it
No...for example-cactus etc. can be fond..
