To protect themselves from wind and cold, plants can adapt by growing lower and closer to the ground. Any of the following adaptations can help plants preserve food, energy, and water while still being able to reproduce effectively in desert environments. Plants also developed a water-repellent cuticle, stomata to control water evaporation, specialised cells to provide rigid protection against gravity, specialised structures to collect sunlight, haploid and di... view moreĀ»
