In the Old World there are a number of species of euphorbias and other genera that have thorns. In the new world (Americas) cacti have spines (not thorns) but are succulents.

Succulent leaves grow on succulent plants, which are typically found in arid or semi-arid environments. These plants store water in their leaves, stems, or roots to survive in dry conditions. Common examples of succulent plants include aloe, jade plants, and various types of cacti. They thrive in well-draining soil and require plenty of sunlight.
Plants that store water in tissue are called succulent plants.
Desert plants are characterized by their ability to survive with limited water resources, often through adaptations such as deep root systems, succulent leaves, and reduced leaf surface area to minimize water loss. They also usually have mechanisms to tolerate high temperatures and intense sunlight commonly found in arid environments.
Plants from the division Magnoliophyta (angiosperms) are well-suited for desert life due to their ability to adapt to extreme conditions, such as drought and high temperatures. These plants often have adaptations like deep root systems, succulent leaves, and mechanisms to prevent water loss through transpiration.
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.
The dominant plants of the desert biomes would depend on what desert you are referring to. In the Mojave, for instance, the more dominant plants would be cacti, mesquite trees and Joshua trees. In other deserts, only sand exists. The dominant plants of the grassland biomes is grass.

Deserts are hot and rainforests are temperate.
Some common plants with succulent leaves that are easy to care for include aloe vera, jade plant, and snake plant. These plants require minimal watering and can thrive in various light conditions.
They both are hot and grow plants.
Plants that store water in tissue are called succulent plants.
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.
Egypt has four main biomes: desert, coastal, riverine, and urban. These biomes are influenced by the unique geography and climate of the region, creating diverse habitats for various species of plants and animals.
Succulent plants have thick, fleshy stems and/or leaves. In the Americas that includes the cacti.
Yes, there is life in the desert. There are many, many species of plants and animals that live in deserts. Next to the rainforests, it has the greatest biodiversity of all biomes.
A desert and the tundra both receive low precipitation and only specialized plants are adapted to live in them. However, they are considered to be different biomes.
