KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Ans: Desert plants like Cactus, Agave or Mesquite have to survive in deserts where the water is very scarce. Also, other plants lose moisture through their pores which they have on their leaves and stem.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many different types of desert plants, including cacti, succulents, acacias, mesquite, creosote bush, and yucca. Each one has adapted in its own way to survive in the harsh desert environment. Cacti are perhaps the best-known desert plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of cacti are stem succulents, i.e., plants in which the stem is the main organ used to store water. Water may form up to 90% of the total mass of a cactus. Stem shapes vary considerably among cacti.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cactuses, or cacti, are desert plants. They grow in dry places where other plants have trouble living. Their ability to store water keeps them alive.

Detailed explanation-5: -And since cacti are predominantly found in deserts, it is easy for the stem to have access to sunlight. Moreover, the spines prevent excess evaporation, since water is rather hard to come by in a desert. Additionally, the spines also trap air – which restricts airflow and prevents evaporation.
