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: -Cacti are adapted to live in very dry environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. Because of this, cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. For example, almost all cacti are succulents, meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Types of Desert Plants Cacti are perhaps the best-known desert plants. They have thick stems that store water, and sparse leaves that minimize evaporation. Some cacti, such as the saguaro, can grow to be over 20 feet tall. Succulents are another type of desert plant that are adapted for water conservation.
