Plants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. This explains why certain plants are found in one area, but not in another. For example, you wouldn't see a cactus living in the Arctic. Nor would you see lots of really tall trees living in grasslands.

Sometimes organisms will have both behavioural and physical ways of adapting to environmental challenges, an example I can think of is if organisms get too hot, they have many different ways of cooling down.
