Plants have developed various ways to protect themselves in harsh desert environments. Cacti in particular can live for over 200 years and grow up to 60 feet tall, storing water in their stems to survive long periods without rain. Many plants are also able to grow new roots or plants from stems and take advantage of scarce rainfall to thrive in desert conditions.
