an oasis
It is important for the roots of desert plants to grow near the surface of the ground so the desert plant's roots may get water easily ( without going into many kinds of trouble ).
so it can help them grow
i don't know, but i can tell you this by looking at the list at the international flora record organization's list of the sahara (note i will not say sahara desert because sahara means desert) is well over 5,000.
Yes but not without the nutrients and oxygen available in soil, there is a way to grow plants without soil, it is called Hydroponics. Hydroponically grown plants are grown in a solution of water containing the necessary plant nutrients.
Some plants in the desert have adapted by releasing chemicals into the soil so other plants cannot grow. Camels have adapted by being able to store water in their back humps. Some animals are able to survive w/out food or water for long periods of time.
Because the desert is too arid for them to survive.

The desert receives little rainfall and plants have to compete for what little falls. They grow a distance for their neighbors to avoid competition and have a better chance of surviving.
There is limited water available in the deserts so plants tend to space themselves to avoid competition from other plants.
I would say lack of enough water for trees to grow in the desert.
Plants have to have water so they can grow and stay hydrated.
The rainy season is short in the desert so plants must grow rapidly so as to complete their life cycle and produce seeds before dry weather sets in again.
Generally, the mountains receive more precipitation than does a desert so more plants are able to grow there.
A lotus plant cannot grow in desert because a lotus plant grow in water and in desert there is no water.
Deserts grow because of desertification. It happens when people farm an area with already poor nutrients and a low water supply. They use up what little ability the ground has to grow plants, and as a result, the ground becomes desert. This usually happens on the edge of deserts.
so they will grow
Desert plants typically have fewer stomata compared to rainforest plants. This is because desert plants need to conserve water due to the arid environment they inhabit, so they have adapted to minimize water loss through transpiration by having fewer stomata. In contrast, rainforest plants have more stomata to facilitate gas exchange for photosynthesis, as they are in a more humid environment where water availability is not a limiting factor.
