Different plants in the desert have adapted in different ways. Cacti have developed means to store water much more efficiently, then able to use that storage over long periods. Some plants have developed extremely long roots, allowing to reach way down into the earth to where water is available. Other plants have developed behavioral adaptations. Longer-living plants remain dormant during the drier periods, while shorter-living plants simply survive by syncing up with the cycle of seasons and moisture.
