Aplant is able to survive in a desert biome , but cannot survive in a tropical rain forest biome , which is most likely a characteristic of this plant

The most likely characteristic of a plant that is able to survive in a desert biome but cannot survive in a tropical rain forest biome  : is that  plant able to prevent water from evaporating.

Which make it capable to live on a desert but will covered in abundance of liquid/moisture if it live in rain forest.

hope this helps
