The creosote bush has two significant adaptations that allow it to survive for prolonged periods without water. The first adaptation is its small, waxy leaves which minimize the amount of water that evaporates from them. The second adaptation is its wide, shallow network of roots that captures as much water as possible when it becomes available. Hope this help you.

The creosote bush is a creeping and very beautiful looking plant, especially in the flowering season, which runs from February until August. Its importance lies in its role as a host, as it shelters a large number of desert insects.

This plant has the ability to survive for up to two years without water, thanks to two evolutionary adaptations. The first adaptation refers to the presence of wax on its leaves. This wax decreases the amount of water that this plant exudes, even in an environment as hot as the desert. This shrub also has an evolution in its roots, which are bulky and shallow and can absorb a large amount of water and store it for a long time.

And if you have any more questions about this please feel free to message me.
