Question

characteristic of cactus leaves​

Answer 1

$\large\bf\underline{Characteristics:-}$

★Almost all cacti are succulents :-

Meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water.

★ Unlike many other succulents, the stem is the only part of most cacti where this vital process takes place.

★ Most species of cacti have lost true leaves :- retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathbb{\underline{Answer:-}}$

➡️The lack of leaves is another water-preserving characteristic of cacti. Leaves have a lot of surface area and therefore lose a lot of water. ... Normally, cacti have sharp spines instead of leaves. The spines, which are modified leaves, protect the juicy, water-filled stem from thirsty desert animals.
