Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $Deserts$, plants often exhibit a high shoot-to-root ratio or have specialized adaptations where the shoot system is massive compared to the root system to minimize water loss or maximize photosynthetic area during short favorable periods. However, in many xerophytic plants, roots are extensive to reach deep water tables. The question refers to the general observation that in certain environments, the above-ground biomass (shoots) is significantly larger than the below-ground biomass (roots) compared to other biomes.
