Question

Large trees in rainforests have large roots that anchor them strongly deeper in the soil compared to cacti in deserts that are not as well-anchored.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The presence of a large number of trees as well as tall and wide trees that make up the canopy of the rainforest results in a larger amount of soil that is in contact with the large roots of evergreen trees. This makes it difficult for such large trees to be easily uprooted. Conversely, cacti in the deserts have long roots that facilitate better access to water but they are not as strongly anchored to the desert sand.
