"The main function of the loop of Henle is to absorb water.
If the loop of Henle is longer than the water can be re-absorbed.
This helps the desert animals that have to survive in the arid environment to preserve more water that can help them to stay without water for a few days.
It also makes sure that the water loss during sweating and urine is lower.
