Answer 1

Answer:

What is the purpose of cactus spines?

The spines we dread are the remains of leaves. They evolved to conserve water. They do not photosynthesize, or do much of anything except offer protection. Many prickly pears and chollas have two lines of defense.

Answer 2

Actually there are no leaves, Cactus has thorns.

The thorns of Cactus have less surface area than normal leaves meaning there is very less loss of water through transpiration.

Life in the desert is very tough as there is very scanty rain. So, the thorns of cactus prevents loss of water helping it to survive.
