Answer:
Desert plants with thick leaves and stems are able to absorb water when it rains and continue growing even when rainfall is absent. Some desert plants have developed holding sacks in their stems that swell to hold water during those times when it is available.

The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. ... Small leaves on desert plants also help reduce moisture loss during transpiration. Small leaves mean less evaporative surface per leaf. In addition, a small leaf in the sun doesn't reach as high a temperature as a large leaf in the sun.
