Some vegetables are over 90 percent water by mass. Seeing as they are so good at retaining moisture, if they evolve to be self-aware will they out compete desert critters such as scorpions?

No, they'd be really smart carrots that just sit there waiting for their impending doom as they still have no limbs and can't move. Poor carrots, why would you want them to be sentient without being able to move?

I wouldn't want that for the carrots

I'd want them to have six legs and terrain appropriate footwear
