[Exa-9c] is an arid and windy exoplanet with long droughts and short rainy seasons. Its rocky soil is poor in nutrients. These conditions have led Rosa spiralis to adopt a wavy spiral shape that retains moisture collected during rare rainfall and facilitates pollen dispersion by the wind. The successive layers increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption.
