Desert plants adapt to its environment because it has shallow roots that are able to absorb water quickly at the sign of rain. These plants are called succulents.
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 ).
The depth of the roots of desert plants can vary depending on the species and the availability of water. In general, desert plant roots can reach depths of 1-10 meters to access water sources deep underground. These deep roots help desert plants survive in arid environments by tapping into water reserves below the surface.
Long roots of desert plants penetrate deep in the soil in search of capillary water and absorb it for the plant's survival
Plants in deserts often have deep taproots to reach underground water sources quickly after a rainstorm. Additionally, some desert plants have extensive lateral roots close to the surface to absorb water rapidly before it evaporates. These adaptations help desert plants survive in regions with unpredictable and sporadic rainfall.

Desert pavement would not occur in a forest as the roots of plants help stabilize the soil preventing the erosion that causes desert pavement..Desert pavement would not occur in a forest as the roots of plants help stabilize the soil preventing the erosion that causes desert pavement.

Plants suck water out of the ground through their roots.
Plants in a desert ecosystem are likely to have adaptations to conserve water, such as thick waxy coatings or small leaves, while plants in a rainforest ecosystem will have adaptations for high moisture levels, like broad leaves or aerial roots. Desert plants also often have deeper root systems to reach water sources underground, whereas rainforest plants may rely more on shallow roots to access nutrients in the topsoil.

Most plants have roots in the ground. Roots anchor the plant. The roots also provide water and minerals to the plant. People have observed this since cave man times.
