Answer 1

Answer:

Unlike other plants, a cactus has special adaptations in its roots, leaves as well as stems, enabling it to thrive in hot and dry environments. A brief of these adaptations are as follows:

Spines

If you could take a closer look at a cactus, it does not have any structures resembling leaves. Instead, the leaves are modified into spines, which emerge from small bumps on the plant known as an areole. Hence, the process of photosynthesis is not carried out by the leaves – instead the stems perform this process. And since cacti are predominantly found in deserts, it is easy for the stem to have access to sunlight.
