Question

Could somebody please tell me the only desert that a plant can survive?

Answer 1

in all deserts are plants , adapted to those conditions ,

but i still think than in Atacama desert aren't plants because is the driest desert in the world

Answer 2

Did you mean the only desert that a plant CAN'T survive? That would make more sense, and it would probably refer to the Arctic or Antarctic, which are deserts because of the low amount of precipitation but which don't have plants for the most part.

Otherwise virtually all deserts have plants (and animals).

Answer 3

Not sure I understand your meaning.  There are many kinds of deserts in the world.  They are not all massive accumulations of sand dunes like the Sahara.  Even there, one will find oasis where plant and animal life can exist.  The Sonoran desert in Arizona, a "summer wet" desert is teeming with life, many varieties of cactus, mesquite, brambles, sagebrush, etc.  The Chiquaquan desert of Mexico and south Texas has sagebrush and tumbleweed and other plant life that I can't immediately identify and that's a pretty dry place...  I have a harder time thinking of a desert that's completely lifeless anywhere on earth.  Algae and lichen can grow even in the harshest environments.  Life is amazingly adaptable.
