Explanation:

The root system of this xerophyte is both wide-spread and deep. While, the deep root system allows it to maintain stability, it also allows the plant to absorb water deep below the surface. This particular plant can live over a year without any preciptation falling to the ground.

Xerophytes such as cacti are capable of withstanding extended periods of dry conditions as they have deep-spreading roots and capacity to store water. The leaves are waxy and thorny that prevents loss of water and moisture. Even their fleshy stems can store water.
