Opuntia

{\huge{\blue{\underline{\underline{Why?}}}}}

Leaves are modified accordingly to enhance their overall survival or adaptation in their specific habitats.

For example...

Leaves can be modified in the form of spines that reduce water loss and also act as a defence. Some are modified into tendrils to provide support to the plant. Some leaves are thick that help in water storage. Some are modified to catch and digest insects

This is the reason we can observe that different plants belonging to different habitats, varied soil and climatic conditions are very distinct in appearance or nature. Each plant has different modifications and survival functions.

Hope this helps!!!
