Answer:

here's ur answer mate ❤️

The leaves of a cactus plant are modified to spines to prevent loss of water. Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. As well as defending against herbivores, spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and providing some shade. In the absence of leaves, enlarged stems carry out photosynthesis.
