There are three leaf modifications occur in desert areas to inhibit water loss.These are :

(1) Hard and waxy leaves,

(2) Tiny leaves or no leaves, and

(3) Thorns instead of leaves.

To impede loss or to preserve water most of the desert species have waxy leaves that keep them water proof once stomata are closed. Water is any preserved by reducing expanse therefore most succulents have few leaves or no leaves. Some desert plants have thorns rather than leaves. Thorns don't let the water withdraw.
