Answer:
Plants adapt to hot conditions in desert by reducing the surface area of its leaves, and sometimes, convert their leaves into spines. This helps them to lower the rate of evaporation of water from their body through their leaves. The spines also help them to protect themselves from predators in search of water. They are very fleshy and the flesh has a large amount of water. A very good example of a plant having these characteristics is Cactus.
