Problem 2 - Entrance Test

In which biome would you expect a plant to have deep taproots and CAM photosynthesis as adaptations?

Correct: C

Desert plants like cacti use CAM photosynthesis to minimize water loss and deep taproots to access groundwater. Rainforests have shallow root systems due to high rainfall, savannas have grasses with widespread root systems, and boreal plants are adapted to cold, not arid conditions.
