A plant with narrow leaves and shallow roots would probably be found in the desert, where there is not a lot of water. Narrow leaves help prevent water loss. Shallow roots can spread out long distances in search of water.

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic of narrow leaves is present in desert plants but shallow roots are not present because water is not available in the upper layer of soil due to faster leaching of water. Desert plants have deep root system which helps them to extract water from the deep layers of soil. Narrow leaves prevent transpiration of water from the plant body which helps the plant to store more water inside its body and remain turgor.
