How plants adapt to arid conditions

thick, waxy skin to reduce loss of water and to reflect heat.

large, fleshy stems to store water.

thorns and thin, spiky or glossy leaves to reduce water loss.

spikes protect cacti from animals wishing to use stored water.

deep roots to tap groundwater.

long eye lashes, hairy ears and closing nostrils help to keep out sand

thick eyebrows which stand out and shade eyes from the sun

wide feet so they don't sink in the sand

they can go without water for over a week because they can drink gallons in one go
