Figurataive language is word, group of words or phrase which does not depict its literal meaning in the sentence. Figurative language is used by writers to make their literary work more attractive and interesting.

Metaphor is a type of figurative language in words are used to one object with other to depict similarity in them. Here metaphor does not depict the literal meaning but expresses the abstract idea about the object in consideration.

The sentence means to say  that just as oasis is a semi-desert area which can be cultivated and is habitat for certain kind of animals and plants. Similarly in Sahara desert natural habitat of plants and animal persist.
