There are many sorts of desert plants. Most iconic of these plants is the cactus. The cactus has adapted to the desert by storing massive quantities of water within itself. In order to deal with other organisms attempting to consume it for this water, it has developed thorns which harm potential consumers.
The similar adaptation is looking around of the Meerkats. Both adaptations protect them.
Desert flora refers to the plant life found in arid regions, characterized by drought-resistant adaptations like succulence or deep root systems. Desert fauna, on the other hand, refers to the animal life that has adapted to survive in harsh desert conditions, often possessing specialized physiological and behavioral adaptations to conserve water and tolerate extreme temperatures.
Long roots of desert plants penetrate deep in the soil in search of capillary water and absorb it for the plant's survival
Succulent leaves/stems to store water. Deep root systems to access water deep underground. Reduced leaf surface area to minimize water loss. Waxy coatings on leaves to prevent water loss through transpiration.
I think you can easily find any desert plant with adaptations
Big ears!
There are many species of snakes, lizards, turtles and tortoises that inhabit the deserts around the world. All have developed specific adaptations to survive in an arid climate.

they have long defensive horns.
It is most commonly found in the Sonora Desert and parts of the Chihuahuan Desert.
A dry region without trees or water is called a desert. Plants and animals need special adaptations in order to survive in this harsh environment.

The cactus has a number of structural adaptations that allow it to live in the harsh conditions of the desert. Many other plants lack these adaptations and cannot survive in a desert.
The Berbers use the Sahara desert for various purposes such as nomadic herding, agriculture in oases, and trade along ancient caravan routes. They have developed survival strategies that are adapted to the harsh desert environment, including water conservation techniques and knowledge of medicinal plants.
Yes, precipitation is an abiotic factor in the desert. Deserts have minimal rainfall, making water availability a critical limiting factor for the survival of plant and animal life in these ecosystems. The amount and timing of precipitation greatly influence desert flora and fauna distributions and adaptations.
who in the world knows because they live in the desert
