OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

which do you think it is?

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

fuzzy growth on leaves

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

no, that is incorrect, fuzzy growth isn't really "fuzzy" on desert plants, it is more thorny

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

guess again

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

flat leaves?

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

nope, that is in jungles so the plants on the lower levels can get some rain water as well

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

a?

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

nope, that is in places where trees lie dormant in the winter because there is less sunlight

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

*facepalm* you really guessed everything but the answer

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

well sorry........................:(

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

the answer is B because they need their roots as close to the surface as possible so the little rain that falls in the deserts falls onto their roots

OpenStudy (shadeyghost):

it's fine
