In the taiga how do plants survive?

Plants in the taiga have adaptations to survive the cold temperatures and lack of sunlight. They have needle-like leaves to reduce water loss, shallow roots to absorb nutrients from the thin soil, and some plants can store energy reserves in their roots or stems to survive the long winters. Additionally, some plants in the taiga, like conifers, have a waxy coating on their leaves to protect against freezing temperatures.
