Question

four lines on cactus for kids

Answer 1

The spines (thorns, stickers) of a cactus are highly modified versions of plant leaves, there are very few cacti species with trueplant leaves. These sharp spines and the thick tough skin of the stem help to protect the cactus from animals who would otherwise have easy access to the liquid inside.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cactuses, or cacti, are desert plants. They grow in dry places where other plants have trouble living. Their ability to store water keeps them alive. Cacti are also protected by sharp spines, or needles. These discourage animals from eating them.
