This adaptation enables the plant to compete for sunlight. They do this by climbing higher up.

Depending on the plant you can grow it in containers, on walls, fences, and along buildings.

These plants have high stem strength and flexibility, which allows them to utilize natural and man made structures for support and growth.

An example of a climbing stem is a Star Jasmine.

Cactus roots help the plant survive by collecting rainwater on the surface and water deep underground. Plants with cactus roots live in mainly desert environments. This helps the plant survive because deserts get little amount of rainfall. Cacti usually have this type of root.

Cactus stems are rigid and store a lot of water. They have very thick outer walls that allow them to grow tall and stable and a lot of available space within the stem.

They live in the desert or very dry areas.

The stem holds a lot of water for a long amount of time because there is not a lot of available water where they live. One plant with this adaptation is the saguaro cactus

The adaptation forces them to find potential environmental support to reach the greatest exposure to light.

plants with climbing stems live all over the place.

Climbing stems help the pants survive because it helps stabilize them and it helps them find sunlight.

a plant with this adaptation is a green bean plant.

This adaptation allows the plant to hold more water in it's systems. It collapses it's water storage cells so that it can hold more. Cactus's live in the deserts of north and south America. The adaptation helps the plant because without it it wouldn't be able to have enough water and it'd die.

Desert roots are a very interesting adaptations. They are shallow, widespread roots that absorb as much water as possible. Plants with this adaptation live in a very dry, desert area. This helps the plant survive because it rarely rains in a desert, and when it does the pants there need to soak up as much water as possible. One plant that has this is a saguaro cactus.

The Mangrove root system helps the plant survive in tidal wetland areas

Mangrove trees have prop roots that descend from the trunk providing stable support then the roots spread out.

Through adaption, these trees have evolved to be able to survive in salt water the salinity of the ground effectively limit competition from other plants.

An example of a plant mangrove roots is the Red Mangrove Tree.

Cactus have succulent stems. Stems in cactus are comparatively thicker than other plants, hence it is able to store water in stems – specifically in collapsible water-storage cells. The stems can also expand considerably to store more water. They are green and perform photosynthesis.

They are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north, with the exception of Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also found in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti are adapted to live in very dry environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth.

The stem of a cactus helps it survive due to its thickness and ability to store water for long periods of time. Teese two factors help it to survive even in extremley hot climates so they dont dry up.

Some different kinds of cacti are, Saguaro, Prickly pear, Echinocactus, Mammillaria, ETC.

A few plant species have adapted to the climate by growing very long tap roots that reach deep into the ground for underground supplies of water in aquifers. Mesquite trees use this adaptation. these types of plants tend to live in dryer areas such as deserts hence the name "desert roots".

# data[].attributes.body
The adaptation works by growing long roots that tap water from deep underground.

Plants with this adaptation live in a desert environment.

This adaptation help the plant by allowing them to reach far underground to absorb water.

For example, the name of a plant with this adaptation is Mesquite.

A taproot is a plant root system where a single, dominant primary root (the taproot )grows deep into the soil ,with smaller lateral roots branching out sideways ,allowing the plant to access water deep underground and providing strong anchorage in the soil.

Plants with taproots can live in a variety of soil conditions ,including deep, rich soils , clay soil, and shallow soils .Plants with taproots are well suited to dry , arid environments.

Taproots helps the plant survive by providing them with a strong anchor in the ground ,allowing them to access deep water sources , and acting as a storage system for nutrients for times of scarcity.

Wide and deep roots absorb rainwater on the surface and reach the underground deep water. Sunken stomata to reduce water loss. Fleshy and thick stems to store water and perform photosynthesis, waxy coating on the stem to retain water.

These plants are native to the deserts of North and South America, and have adapted to the dry, hot climate by storing water in their stems. Cacti come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and they can be found in both arid and semi-arid habitats all over the world.

Leaves are reduced to spines to reduce water loss through transpiration. Wide and deep roots absorb rainwater on the surface and reach the underground deep water. Sunken stomata to reduce water loss.

One kind of cactus that has these adaptations is the saguaro.

Taproots are an adaptation in which the plant roots grow vertically downward. With this growth, plants are more stable, and they are provided with nutrients they may not otherwise have. Plants with taproots are found in various areas, but the most notable region is the desert. Many plants in the desert rely on the long roots to help them reach water deep in the ground. As mentioned above, taproots are important to a plant because it anchors them, and keeps the plant upright and stable. Its deep roots also allow it to transport minerals and water to the stem that would be otherwise unreachable. Some notable plants with a taproot system are Carrots, Parsnips, Turnips, and Dandelions.

One plant with this adaptation is cacti

What is it?

Stores water

The rounded shape reduces the surface area in comparison to the volume

A low surface-to-volume ratio minimizes water loss

Stem stores extra water beyond what the plant needs at the moment

Where do plants with this live?

These plants live in dry places that may receive rain. They also grow outside of the tropics, mountain regions, and volcanoes.

How does it help?

They have thick cuticles

Helps conserve water

It has a thick structure called a caudex that stores water

Tap Root refers to the primary main root of a plant that grows straight down from the stem ,acting as the anchor in the soil and allowing the plant to access deeper water and nutrients ; it then produces secondary lateral roots that branch out further to absorb more nutrients from the surrounding .

plants with taproots are well suited to dry ,arid environments because their taproots can access water deep under ground .

taproot helps plants survive by allowing them to access deep water sources in the soil.it benefits its to provide stability for the plants firmly into the ground making them less likely to be uprooted, and nutrients storage taproot can store carbohydrates and other nutrients produced by the plant ,anchoring it firmly in the ground and resisting wind or heavy rain.

a plant that has a taproot is Carrot .

Mangrove roots help it survive by providing oxygen for respiration.

It works by slowing down water flows and encourage sediment deposits that reduce coastal erosion.

Most live on muddy soil, but some also grow on sand, peat, and coral rock. They live in water up to 100 times saltier than most other plants

he roots of the mangrove trees grow upwards, out of the soil. These special roots are called pneumatophores.
