Heya!!
here is ua answer:
An adaptation can also be behavioral, affecting the way an organism acts. An example of a structural adaptation is the way some plants have adapted to life in the desert. Deserts are dry, hot places. Plants called succulents have adapted to this climate by storing water in their thick stems and leaves.
The characteristics of an organism (a plant or an animal) that help it survive in its habitat are called adaptations.
Importance of adaptations: Adaptations help the organism to live and reproduce in a particular environment.
Following are the two examples of adaptation:
1. Adaptations of animals in deserts:
Camels have long legs, which help them walk on sand. They do not sweat and their dung is dry. This allows them to conserve water in their body.
Other desert animals such as rats and snakes live in burrows to stay away from the intense heat. These animals surface during the night when it gets colder.
2. Adaptations of animals in mountain areas:
Animals such as snow leopard, yaks, etc., which live in mountains, have thick skins or furs that protect them from cold. Furs can also be present on the feet and toes of these animals.
hope it helps!!

Living organisms (plants and animals) exhibit particular feature that enable them to survive and thrive in their habitats such features are known as adaptations. Two examples of adaptations are:
- To prevent water from leaves by transpiration in the hot climates of deserts, Cacti have leaves modified into spines.
- Animals living in extremely cold climates, such as polar bears have thick coats of fur and large deposits of fat to insulate them against the cold.
