Plants that survive with little rainfall in the Sahara Desert include acacia trees, palms, succulents, spiny shrubs, and grasses that have adapted to the arid conditions. These plants grow lower to the ground to prevent water loss by winds, store water in thick stems, and have long, horizontal roots that seek out water sources.
