Detailed explanation-1: -Plants in the Tundra have adapted in a variety of ways. They grow close together, low to the ground and they remain small. Many plants in the biome have a wax type of fuzzy, hairy coating on them which helps to shield them from the cold and the wind.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Animal adaptations for living in the tundra include thick feathers and fur, hibernation and a life close to the ground. Thick feathers and fur act as insulation from the cold, just like we might wear a thick coat in the winter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arctic plants have a very short growing season. However, in spite of the severe conditions and the short growing season, there are approximately 1, 700 kinds of plants that live in the Arctic tundra. Some of the plants that live in the Arctic tundra include mosses, lichens, low-growing shrubs, and grasses–but no trees.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spines or hairs shade plants and break up drying winds across the leaf/stem surface. The roots of desert plants are also adapted to help them survive. Some plants have shallow, widespread roots to absorb a maximum of rainfall moisture. Others have deep taproots to get water that is deep underground.
