4 0

there is no clear evidence about plants evolving in the desert, or fossils of any kind of cactus despite their distribution over a large area. But, scientists are of the opinion that they acquired specific attributes millions of years ago, as a response to the vastly changing climate and conditions.

-Desert plant root system

A typical desert plant has a deep root system, which is a specific physical mechanism. As the roots grow deep down the soil, they absorb soil water, which is then transported to the upper portions of the plant.

-Desert plant leaves

Bear small foliage with waxy surface to minimize transpiration (loss of water through stomatal pores), which in turn, helps to conserve water.
