Would it be possible to make gmo crops that can grow on sand?
Like desert corn for example.

Sandy soils aren't that bad. No need for GMO.

you would need such a deep root to get any semblance of water from the ground. a root system like that such as the roots you see in vineyards can make it drought resistant but take years to grow and develop

No, because you're still limited by physics.

Root is often what you want. Like potatoes, carrots,... you know. (No discussions about "but actually they are not roots")

Completely missing that many existing crops do grow on sand.
