Question

surroundings
6. An adaptation in desert plants is
(a) long root system and spines
(b) waxy coating on stems and
leaves to reduce water loss
(c) both of these
THE WIS​

Answer 1

The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. This waxy substance does not cover the stomata, but it covers most of the leaves, keeping the plants cooler and reducing evaporative loss

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to the above questions is both of these

the reason is that due to water scarcity in deserts roots of plants need to go too deep to absorb water and minerals and waxy coating avoids loss of water through transpiration
