Answer 2

Ability to store water in leafy structures to prevent excess evaporating

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quiver Tree Forest area is located 14 kilometers northeast of Keetmanshoop. It is one of the main tourist attractions in southern Namibia, in Africa. They are known as the national plant of Namibia and it is the best-known desert plant in southeastern Africa. It has a strong stem that can grow up to one meter in diameter and its bark is thick and yellowish. Its branches are smooth and are covered by a layer of fine white powder that helps protect it from the sun's rays. Due to the difficult ecosystem in which they are found, they have developed various adaptations that allow them to survive, as is their ability to store water in leafy structures.
