    Although you may think that desert plants need lots of water they actually can survive a little amount of water! They taste disgusting since they have salty water in them. The creosote bush sends out huge networks of roots so that it can seek out every drop of dew or rain.

    Desert plants can actually survive on very little water! Isn’t that crazy?
