Cacti and succulents are plants that have adapted to the scarcity of rain water where they live, usually in a dry desert environment. They survive by having fibrous roots that spread out and dive deep into the ground, seeking out any underground water levels deep below. Any water is stored in stems or leaf cells that will expand to accommodate and hold as much water as possible. Cacti and succulents have a waxy coating that prevents water escaping from the plant.
the main plants in a desert are "succulents" (cacti and other) which hold their water in their leaves
Plants with deep roots, reduced leaves, and photosynthetic stems are typically known as succulents. Succulents have adapted to arid environments by storing water in their stems, which allows them to survive in dry conditions. Examples of succulents include cacti and agave plants.
In a desert with water, you may find plant life that is adapted to survive in arid conditions, such as cacti, succulents, and drought-resistant shrubs. These plants have developed specialized mechanisms to store water and thrive in the harsh desert environment. The presence of water in a desert can create oases, which are areas with more abundant vegetation due to the availability of water.
Plants living in deserts are often called xerophytes. These plants have adapted to survive in arid environments by developing specialized features such as water-storing tissues, reduced leaf surface area, and deep root systems. Some common examples of desert plants include cacti, succulents, and drought-resistant shrubs.
they are succulents and retain water in their leaves.
No, the vast majority of plants in the desert are not succulents. They are typical plants that have developed other means of living in an arid environment.
Only those desert plants that have the ability to store water in their stems or leaves are called succulents. Cacti, agaves, aloes, some euphorbias are examples.

Xerophytes, halophytes and succulents
There are a variety of plants called succulents that live in the deserts, plants that can store water in their tissues. One group of succulent plants are the cacti.

To convert grass to a desert landscape, you can remove the grass and replace it with desert-adapted plants like cacti and succulents. Additionally, you can reduce watering and add rocks or sand to create a more arid environment.
Producers are plants and include all grasses, shrubs, trees and succulents found in a desert.
Any plant, and only plants, are the producers in a desert.Any plant, and only plants, are the producers in a desert.
