Some of the ways that they do this include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Having deep roots<\/strong> that can reach down to water that is deep underground.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Having thick, waxy leaves<\/strong> that help to prevent water loss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being able to store water<\/strong> in their leaves, stems, or roots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being able to photosynthesize at night<\/strong> when it is cooler and there is less evaporation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These adaptations allow desert plants to survive in a very harsh environment.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unproductive<\/strong> does not accurately describe desert plants.
