HEY MATE HERE'S YOUR ANSWER ✌;

One of those adaptations is Having a waxy coating of cut in or suberin. This waxy coat helps them to minimise water loss in a way that it prevents transpiration. Hence plants like cactus,euphorbia and Australian acacia can grow and flourish in xeric conditions.

Epidermal cells on the aerial parts of the plant secrete a waxy, waters resistant layer on their outer surface. ... In desert plants, epidermis has a thick waxy coating of cutin, to check water loss.

The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick covering that is coated with awaxy substance, allowing them to seal in and protect what moisture they already have. ... The smaller or fewer leaves a plant has, the less water is lost during transpiration since ithas less surface area open to the sun and wind.
