Deep roots and an expandable (water‑storing) stem.
- Deep roots: let a plant reach groundwater or moisture deep in the soil.
- Expandable stem: stores water during rare rains (succulence), allowing survival through drought.
Large, wide leaves would increase water loss; leaves with drip tips are adaptations for heavy-rain, tropical habitats, not deserts.
