This will depend upon the specific microorganism you are asking about. Many common human pathogens, such as E. coli and Salmonella, do not grow at all below a water activity level of about 0.95. However, there are some bacteria that tolerate extremely dry conditions and can grow in places like the Sahara Desert, in the bottom of the Salt Lake in Utah and in other harsh conditions.
The number of microorganisms that can grow in 24 hours varies greatly depending on the type of microorganism, environmental conditions, and available nutrients. It can range from thousands to millions or more in optimal conditions.

It is to survive under severe conditions and grow under most other conditions. I can grow in soil and grow in water. When very dry I die leaving spores behind ready to grow when conditions are right. I can scavenge a living growing at times of very low food levels
Plants typically grow faster in moist places because water is essential for their growth and nutrient uptake. In dry conditions, plants may struggle to photosynthesize and obtain enough water, which can slow down their growth rate.
Petri dishes are typically left in an incubator for 24-48 hours to promote microorganism growth. The exact time may vary depending on the type of microorganism being cultured and the optimal growth conditions required. It's important to follow specific protocols for each type of microorganism.

they clone themselves when they grow, they grow when they eat.
because microorganism will not grow in it
Culture
no
Prickly Pear is of the Genus Opuntia, which is a cactus = hot, dry and arid
corn needs a wet, semi-dry/humid climate to grow in.
Petri dish
Yes, any microorganism in its vegetative state is growing.
Because things take time to grow.
To successfully grow sphagnum moss in dry conditions, you can mist the moss regularly to keep it moist, provide indirect sunlight, and ensure good air circulation. Additionally, you can place the moss in a shallow tray with water to maintain humidity levels.
