The stems of cactus perform in the absence of leaves

Answers

Answered by CUPCAKE2103

Answer:

Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, having only spines, which are highly modified leaves, as well as defending against the herbivores. Spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus. In the absence of leaves, enlarged stems carry out photosynthesis. These adaptations allow cactus species to grow in hot and dry places.
