Question

how do cactus and date palms grow and survive in the dry barren regions like deserts

Answer 1

Hi dear here is ur answer ✌

The vegetation of a desert mainly consists of thorny shrubs, cacti and palm especially dates trees. they have adapted themselves to live in desert conditions. These plants have ways to store water in their fleshy stems. The leaves have squeezed themselves into tiny thorns to reduce the loss of water. The roots go deep into the ground and are widespread to collect every drop of water available in the soil. The stem stores the water and slowly gets thinner as the water gets used up. In some cacti, the thorns point towards the earth. The dewdrops deposited on the tips of these thorns fall to the earth and get absorbed by it. In this manner, a cactus plant manages to create moisture on the ground around it.
