Built to survive

Plants have special structures

that help them to survive
Photo by PacificKlaus

They have thorns and prickles

to keep animals from eating them

they have thick, waxy coats

cuticles hold in water in dry desert areas

In the desert

leaves are small and plentiful

Roots may be close to the surface

like a web to collect moisture quickly

some plants only have leaves

when rain is plentiful

In the jungle

where there is too much rain and little sunlight

plants grow everywhere

trying to find sunlight
Photo by Jonas Hansel

leaves are enormous

and waxy so water will roll off
Photo by osseous

these large leaves try to get sunlight

so they can survive

other plants creep and climb

to try and reach the sunshine
Photo by jdnx

some plants need no soil

they latch on to the tree trunk

underwater plants

have adapted ways to reach the sun
