Explain how desert plants and animals are adapted to the desert habitat?

Desert plants and animals have developed various adaptations to survive in arid environments. Many desert plants, like cacti, have thick, waxy skin to reduce water loss and deep root systems to access underground moisture. Animals often exhibit behaviors such as nocturnal activity to avoid daytime heat, and physiological adaptations like water conservation mechanisms. Additionally, some have specialized body structures, such as camouflaged coloration, to blend into their surroundings and evade predators.
