Plants that grow in the savanna, or other semi-arid areas, have characteristics that usually help the plant reduce water loss or gain water. They may have any combination of the following characteristics:
- very small, numerous leaves
- shed their leaves during the dry season
- thorny stems to dissuade animals from eating their leaves and reduce water loss
- fine hairs ("trichomes") on their leaves
- very long tap roots to reach underground sources of water (trees)
- dense adventitious roots to prevent being pulled out by grazing animals
- thick trucks to store water (e.g. baobab)
- store water in their roots underground
- grow rapidly during the wet season

What do the plants in the savanna look like and smell like and what are the plants names?
Savanna plants typically include grasses, acacia trees, and baobab trees, characterized by their drought-resistant adaptations and wide canopies. The grasses are often tall and golden, creating a sea of waving blades, while acacias feature small, feathery leaves and fragrant yellow or white flowers. The air in a savanna often carries earthy smells, mingled with the sweet scent of flowering plants. Notable savanna plants include the Pampas grass, African baobab (Adansonia digitata), and various species of acacia (Acacia spp.).
