Detailed explanation-1: -Some plants that grow in the tundra include short shrubs, sedges, grasses, flowers, birch trees and willow trees. Cushion plants, which, also grow in the tundra, are types of plants that grow low to the ground in tight places.
Detailed explanation-2: -Due to the cold, the upper soil surface of the region is frozen into a rock-like state all through the year. This is called ‘permafrost’. As there is little soil, only some small plants can grow. The underground soil being hard, it is difficult for trees to grow.
