Desert plants usually have roots that are very long. They anchor the plant very firmly in the sand and find more water than short roots. Desert plants have thick skin which prevents evaporation, because water is already short and they can’t afford to lose more. Hope this helps more than the ‘gentleman’ who suggested the internet
