The desert rose, or Adenium obesum, has a bulbous trunk primarily as a means of water storage. This adaptation allows the plant to survive in arid environments by efficiently retaining moisture during periods of drought. The swollen trunk also helps support the plant's weight and provides stability in sandy soils. Additionally, the bulbous shape aids in nutrient storage, promoting overall growth and health.
