Hi Friend!!
plants at higher altitudes have pointed and sharp leaves to enable the snow or frost to fall off the surface of the plant...
this helps in keeping off the cold!

hope that clears yoour doubts!

Answer 2

Plants have sharp and pointed leaves at higher altitudes.

• Because at higher altitudes specific leaf area is reduced and leaf thickness is increased.

• Leaf petioles are drastically reduced at higher altitudes.

• For example, alpine plants are grown in higher altitudes. They are very small because their organ size is small.

• Alpine species particularly exhibit large cells because most of the plant's cell wall is increased at higher altitudes.
