Question

Plants which do not shed their leaves during winter season ?​

Answer 1

Evergreen plants do not shed their leaves during the winter season.

Explanation:

• Plants that shed their leaves during the winter season to survive harsh climates are called deciduous plants.

• Almost every deciduous trees have broad leaves that are prone to damage during winter or dry weather.

• Therefore, the plants absorb all the nutrients from the leaves and cut down their leaves. This is called the process of abscisson.

• The absorbed nutrients are later used for their growth once the winter season is over.

• On the contrary, most evergreen trees either live in warm, or damp climates, and they have weather-resistant needles as leaves.

• Also, they can absorb and store sunlight and water. Since the needle-shaped leaves help prevent water loss during winter, and they stay evergreen throughout the year.
