Water lilies do not grow in desert sand because water availability to these plants in a desert is?
a.





not having enough water is a limiting factor. The absence of water is not in competition for the lilies - a competitive factor would be something like an animal present that eats lilies or something.





so, the fact that standing water is basically non-existent in desert areas is a limiting factor for the presence of lilies.
