Due to an abundance of water the plants roots don't have to go deep to find water, therefore they stay in shallow terrain.

i hope this is what you where asking
So that water may be absorbed rapidly after a rain .
Most rains in the desert are rather light. If the roots are near they surface of the soil the plant can take advantage of even a light rainfall.
a
wide-spreading, shallow roots
It is important for the roots of desert plants to grow near the surface of the ground so the desert plant's roots may get water easily ( without going into many kinds of trouble ).
no, bamboo plants have shallow adventitious root systems
Long roots of desert plants penetrate deep in the soil in search of capillary water and absorb it for the plant's survival
They have shallow roots that grow right under the water.
wide-spreading, shallow roots
To go deep for any moister resources the can reach.
yes, the desert plant have long roots to collect water. Some desert plants have shallow roots that form a dense web just below the surface of the soil to collect water even from light rainfalls.
Usually they will either have shallow rots to capture water from rain or deep tap roots to obtain water deeper within the soil. Different plants will often spread their roots at separate depths in order to avoid competition for water

The roots of plants in arctic soil are shallow, but I am not sure why. Sorry!

Some desert plants have this adapatation, this enables them to capture the smallest amount of rain that may fall on the surface, others use this to collect dew from the surface of the soil that forms at some times of the year. Desert plants that are located in area that recieve costal fog are know for this adaptation (Welwitchia plants of the Nambib Desert for example)

Desert pavement would not occur in a forest as the roots of plants help stabilize the soil preventing the erosion that causes desert pavement..Desert pavement would not occur in a forest as the roots of plants help stabilize the soil preventing the erosion that causes desert pavement.
is is an example of an adaptation in order to ensure survival of the plant
