No month has an average temperature below 64.4oF and many places have consecutive average monthly temperatures in the mid 30os Celsius 90oF. An entire year's worth of rain may fall in one downpour. Unlike the tropics the arctic and the desert is dry and cannot get any fertile soil.

Desert plants have had to develop different ways of capturing water in order to survive in their habitat. A common adaptation the development of ways to store water in the roots, stems, leaves or fruit. Some plants have developed very long roots that go deep into the ground to reach underground water. Others have developed spreading root systems lying just below the surface and stretching widely. This gives the plant many tiny roots that capture water when it rains.
