Solution

Desert plants or xerophytes live in extremely dry conditions.
They take in carbon dioxide through stomata or small pores present on the plant surface.
These desert plants take in carbon dioxide during the night time or when the temperature is cooler because during the day the stomata are closed to prevent transpiration or water loss.
