Answer 2

The adaptations of a desert plant are the following:

1. As they are grown in deserts where water is scarce. So, to reduce water losses they have fleshy, large stems to store water. Also, they have leaves reduced as spines to reduce water losses through transpiration.
2. They have a well-developed root system that is deep to tap the underground water.
3. To reflect the heat they have waxy and thick skin.

The adaptations of a mountain plant are as follows:

1. To avoid getting uprooted by the wind, they grow very close to the ground surface.
2. They have very small leaves to reduce water losses.
3. Hilly trees most commonly have rhizomes that penetrate deep into the soil to hold the tree firmly and get underground water.
