Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plants living in deserts have adaptations such as hair on leaves and a thick cuticle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leaves are adapted to photosynthesis by having a large surface area that contains openings called Stomata. Stomata allows carbon dioxide to enter a leaf and allow oxygen to diffuse out. The leaf is coated with a waxy cuticle to stop the water vapor from escaping from the epidermis to reduce water loss.
Detailed explanation-3: -Physiological adaptations in plants Physiological adaptations of plants are processes which allow them to compete. An example of this is the formation of poisons for defence. The nettle plant stings us when we brush the tiny needles on its leaves, which contain poison.
