Detailed explanation-1: -Water Storage of Plants That Live In the Desert Some desert plants store water in their leaves, stems, or roots. Others have thick, waxy skin that helps prevent water loss. Some desert plants have small leaves that help reduce evaporation. Others have deep taproots that help them reach the underground water sources.
Detailed explanation-2: -Desert plants are adapted to their arid environment in many ways. Small leaves on desert plants help reduce moisture loss during photosynthesis. Small leaves mean less evaporative surface per leaf. In addition, a small leaf in the sun doesn’t reach as high a temperature as a large leaf.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants in deserts store water to suvive in hot and dry climate conditions. Cactus is a plant found in deserts. It has leaves modified in order to reduce water loss. The thick fleshy stem of the cactus stores water.
Detailed explanation-4: -In deserts, there is scarcity of water. So, in order to adapt to water scarce areas, desert plants have their leaves reduced to spines. Spines reduce water loss by transpiration significantly by reducing the surface area of leaves.
