Question

A plant with broad leaves will not survive in a desert.Why

Answer 1

Xerophytes, such as cacti, usually have special means of storing and conserving water. They often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration. Phreatophytes are plants that have adapted to arid environments by growing extremely long roots, allowing them to acquire moisture at or near the water table.

Answer 2

cause broad leaves lose more water for maintaining the temperature of the plant. In desert there is very less water so the plants with broad leaves can't survive.
