Desert Plants Often Have

Question

Desert plants often have
A) broad leaves.
B) thick vines.
C) long taproots.
D) shallow roots.
E) soft bark.

Accepted Answer

Long taproots are common in desert plants as they help the plant reach water deep underground. This allows the plant to survive in an environment with little rainfall. Broad leaves, thick vines, and soft bark are not common adaptations in desert plants, as they lose water quickly and are not efficient in conserving water. Shallow roots are also not a common adaptation as they do not allow the plant to access water deep underground.
