Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the characteristics of each biome mentioned: Tropical rainforests, Savannas, and Deserts.
Tropical rainforests are characterized by high rainfall and dense vegetation, which is not adapted to long droughts.
Savannas have a wet and dry season, with vegetation adapted to some drought, but not as extreme as deserts.
Deserts are characterized by very low rainfall and extreme temperatures, with vegetation specifically adapted to survive long periods without water.
Conclude that the biome where native vegetation is best adapted to survive long droughts is the desert, due to its specialized plant adaptations like deep roots and water storage capabilities.
