To survive, desert plants have adapted to the extremes of heat and aridity by using both physical and behavioral mechanisms, much like desert animals.
Plants that have adapted by altering their physical structure are called xerophytes. Xerophytes, such as cacti, usually have special means of storing and conserving water. They often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration.
Cactus, are among the most drought-resistant plants on the planet due to their absence of leaves, shallow root systems, ability to store water in their stems, spines for shade and waxy skin to seal in moisture.
Cacti depend on chlorophyll in the outer tissue of their skin and stems to conduct photosynthesis for the manufacture of food. Spines protect the plant from animals, shade it from the sun and also collect moisture. Extensive shallow root systems are usually radial, allowing for the quick acquisition of large quantities of water when it rains. Because they store water in the core of both stems and roots, cacti are well-suited to dry climates and can survive years of drought on the water collected from a single rainfall.
Spines help to protect it from predators. Thick body can store a lot of water for long days in the desert. Long roots help take up as much water as possible. small and spiky leaves that reduce evaporation of water. It also prevents loss of water. Waxy surface helps reflect sun, so less water evaporation.

A cactus has adapted to life in the desert by the following modifications: 1. It survives on a small amount of water, as water is scarcely available in deserts. 2. It has developed sharp thorns to protect itself against desert animals looking for plants to eat. 3. It does not have many leaves/branches as more leaves mean more evaporation [escape of water from its body] in the desert heat. 4. It has thick leaves to prevent escape of water.
Cactus/Cacti, Grass, Bushes. That's all I can think of but you can use the link below for more.
anacondas habitat are in the jungle where the amazon rain forest is and they eat anything that are in the jungle
There are two types of cactus, columnar cactus and climbing cactus. Climbing cactus e.g dragon fruit plant.
a cactus lives in a desert
A cactus is a type of plant that has adapted to very dry conditions.
He was adapted to its habitat because it can camoufalge
they are adapted to their habitat because they have claws to kepp food in their hands and to hang on trees
cactus
yes they are
they are adapted so they can live in there own habitat
it is spiky so that animals do not eat it or kill it, the spikes also help it to catch water when it rarely rains and it hold the water in for a long time and uses it very efficiently :)
because it helps bring precipitation to the cactus...
Ants have adapted to their habitat in a great variety of ways. Ants have learned to forage for food for example.
they save water in there trunk
cacti can store tons of water in their stem, and bacause they have a waxy outer coating, the water doesn't leak out. cacti also have really sharp needles to protect them from predators.
