Detailed explanation-1: -To save water in desert plants, transpiration takes place at night and rate of transpiration is low when compared to water and forest plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -The lower the humidity the easier it is for the plant to release water. The type of plant is also a factor in how much a plant will transpire. For example plants grow in arid hot areas such as the desert will transpire less as they aim to conserve water.
Detailed explanation-3: -In desert plants, epidermis has a thick waxy coating of cutin (chemical substance with waterproof quality) on its outer surface helps them to reduce the rate of water loss.
Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to low rainfall, deserts are characterized by a high rate of water loss from the ground (evaporation) and through plants (transpiration).
