Answer:
Opuntia is a deseart plant ...so the temperature is too high and water availability is too low,so if there are leaves present on plant the transpiration will be high so the plant may die due to lack of water...so to reduce the rate of transpiration the leaves are modified into thorns and the function of leaves is done by stem
