Explanation:

1.Low water requirements

Desert plant survival depends on being able to exist on very little rainfall.

2.Small and no leaves

Moisture evaporates through leaves. Leaves are used for photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy for the plant to grow. Desert trees like palo verde, iron wood and mesquite have tiny leaves to reduce water escaping while still allowing photosynthesis.

3.Thorns

Many desert plants have needles or thorns. Since the plants store moisture inside themselves, they require some sort of protection against animals. Thorns are the protection.

4. Ability to quickly absorb water

Many desert plants have needles or thorns. Since the plants store moisture inside themselves, they require some sort of protection against animals. Thorns are the protection. Some animals, like javelina, ignore the thorns on new cactus pads and eat them anyway. Cacti aren't the only plants in the desert that have thorns. Many trees do as well.
