They are adapted because the seeds were from an specific place, like the cactus, I think you had never seen a cactus on New York, or in some places cold, because that plant is from a place hot

The climate in deserts is extremely hot and dry. Desert plants are adapted to their environment in the following ways:

1) The leafs of the desert plants are modified into spikes to prevent water loss through leaf (by transpiration). There is already scarcity of water in the desert areas that is why plants can't afford to loose water thorough leafs. So, they modify their leafs into spikes/spines which have less surface area. Less surface are exposed towards sunlight leading to lesser water loss. This is a mechanism to conserve water in hot climate.

2) Desert plants, instead of having pores have thick waxy cuticle in their leafs. This waxy cuticle prevents water loss to the environment and conserves water for the plant.

3) Plants in deserts, instead of opening their stomata during daytime open them in night. Because there is no sunlight and therefore less heat so at that time water evaporation is less. Less water tends to evaporate during that time leading to conservation of water.

How is fresh water collected in the rain forest?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

if you mean how you can gain water in the rainforest?

Kindly, look at below ^_^

Explanation:

The role of rainforests in the water cycle is to add water to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration (in which plants release water from their leaves during photosynthesis). This moisture contributes to the formation of rain clouds, which release the water back onto the rainforest.

Water Basics

 

The first thing you should do if you're stranded in the wild is find a source of drinkable water. The most obvious sources are streams, rivers and lakes. Animals always know where the water is, so be on the lookout for wildlife or animal tracks. Lush green vegetation is also a sign that water is nearby. Swarming insects may be a hassle, but they also signal that a water source isn't far away. Bird flight paths in the morning or evening can point you in the right direction. Stay on the move until you find a water source. When you pause to rest, use your ears -- rivers can be heard in the quiet woods from great distances. Remember that water always flows downhill, so low-lying areas and valleys are a good bet.

If you find a muddy area, there may be groundwater available. Dig a hole about a foot deep and one foot in diameter and wait. You may be surprised to find that the hole is soon filled with water. This groundwater will be muddy, but straining it through some cloth will clean it up, and it will get you by in the short term. It's crucial to remember that any time you drink found water without purifying it, you're taking a risk.
