The adaptation of plants in deserts is option b.
Plants living in deserts need to reduce the loss of water which is very scarce in deserts.
Adaptation in Deserts
- Adaptation refers to the changing of one's habits and making oneself comfortable in its environment.
- In deserts, water is hardly found, and thus, the plants need to store a lot of water among themselves and not release them.
- For this, the plants have adapted themselves to have spines, thick fleshy stems, and long roots. This helps in less loss of water, and the roots can go further deep inside the sand to fetch water.
- They do not have leaves like other plants to reduce the loss of water by transpiration.
- Examples of desert plants are cactus and prickly pears. They have leaves modified into thorns, and the fleshy stems do not let the water evaporate.
