Answer 2

The spines are better at conserving water and surviving in hot temperatures. Regular leaves provide a large surface area for evaporation of water to occur, the tiny spines do not. The spines actually collect moisture from the air and let it drip down to the roots of the cactus.The spines of cacti are actually modified leaves. It helps to imagine cacti as large stems with spines for leaves. One of the main functions of spines is fairly obvious – they protect cacti from predators. Their sharp spines will turn away most animals, but not all.
