How the desert plants are adapted?

Desert plants are adapted to their arid environment in many different ways. Stomata are the holes in plant leaves through which they transpire water. Many desert plants have very small stomata and fewer stomata than those of other plants. The stomata of many cacti lie deep in the plants’ tissues. This adaptation helps cacti reduce water loss by keeping the hot, dry wind from blowing directly across the stomata.

What Leaves and Stems Have?

The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick, waxy covering. This waxy substance does not cover the stomata, but it covers most of the leaves, keeping the plants cooler and reducing evaporative loss. Small leaves on desert plants also help reduce moisture loss during transpiration. Small leaves mean less evaporative surface per leaf. In addition, a small leaf in the sun doesn’t reach as high a temperature as a large leaf in the sun.
