In the desert it can get really hot. In the desert there is very little rainfall or not at all, but plants need water to survive. So when it does rain in the desert the roots of the plants catch the rainfall and store it in their roots. When the plants  really need water they use the water that they stored in their roots.

The way plants survive in the desert without rainwater is that they get water from under the ground and it goes into the roots. The plant doesnt drink the water sraight away the plant stores the water and waites till it is a very hot day and needs the water, and when this happens this is when the plant drinks some of the water stored in their roots.
