Plants adapt to survive in extreme climates through various mechanisms such as changing their leaf structures to reduce water loss, developing deep root systems to access underground water sources, storing water in their tissues, and adjusting their growth patterns based on temperature and sunlight availability. Additionally, some plants have evolved specialized mechanisms like succulence, drought tolerance, and thermal insulation to thrive in harsh environmental conditions.
