$\Huge{\mathfrak{\purple{\underline{ANSWER}}}}$

➡️ The main function of the leaves is to carry out the process of photosynthesis. However, in a few plants, leaves are modified to perform different functions.

⭕Tendrils:

The leaves of a pea plant are modified into tendrils that help the plant in climbing.

⭕ Spines:

The leaves in cactus are modified into sharp spines that act as an organ of defense.

⭕ Phyllode:

The leaves of some Australian acacia are short-lived and soon replaced by flattened, green structures called phyllodes that arise from the petiole of the leaves. The petioles in these plants synthesize food.

⭕ Pitcher:

The leaves of the pitcher plant are modified into pitcher-like structures, which contain digestive juices and help in trapping and digesting insects.
