How do some plants survive the intense desert heat and drought?

plants close their stomata during times of intense heat or drought in order to prevent water loss and maintain homeostasis.
plants only grow in shady areas during times of intense heat or drought in order to prevent water loss and maintain homeostasis.
plants do not survive in the desert during times of intense heat or drought.
plants do have the need to maintain homeostasis.

as a camel goes without food, its hump begins to shrink. its fur prevents the camel from sweating too much.camels store fat in their humps, not water.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
