Which are some of the traits a plant must have to survive in the desert?

A plant must be able to live off of the dry dirt and sun without shriveling up due to The small amounts of rain. Most plants in the desert have spikes or thorns to “defend” themselves from animals that may try to eat it. Also due to the harsh winds that tend to happen in the desert they must be able to stay put in these harsh conditions. Hope I helped, please give brainliest, have a good day! :)
