A plant that is in the desert that would most probably first come to someones mind would be a cactus. Other plants in the different deserts are Joshua trees, thorn-covered ocotillo, sagebrush, mesquite trees and there few others. These plants can survive in the desert because they can go for a long time without water. This is because of their large root systems or/and if they have thick or waxy leaves, they are then able to contain water or live on little amounts.
