Why do wild sunflowers grow next to the highways in the desert and they don't grow anywhere else?

The basics of it is that sunflower seeds get dropped all the time but usually land on hard ground and never make it under the soil. By highways and dirt roads and the edge of planted crop fields the soil gets turned over quite often, therefore putting the seed in the ground.

Wild sunflowers are adapted to thrive in arid environments due to their deep root systems that can access underground water sources. Highways offer disturbed ground that allows the seeds to germinate and grow without competition from other plants. The constant exposure to sunlight and minimal water runoff on highways also create ideal conditions for wild sunflowers to grow in the desert.

Suppose you found a tall plant living in the desert do you think it would be a vascular plant?
Yes, it is likely that a tall plant living in the desert would be a vascular plant. Vascular plants have specialized tissues for transporting water and nutrients throughout their structure, which is essential for survival in arid environments like deserts. The height of the plant suggests it would need an efficient system to transport water from the roots to the upper parts of the plant.
