Question

why do the sloping shape of conifers help the plant to survive​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The conical shape of conifer trees (mountain) prevents as much accumulation of snow as there would be on a wider shaped tree. ... hence, conifers have sloping branches, so that snow does not accumulate and thus prevent them from damage.

Answer 2

The needle line leaves, especially in harsh environments or soil conditions, provide some creative points of interest over leaves.

Explanation:

• Evergreen conifers are the world's oldest trees, and with good cause.
• Needles have a number of adaptations that allow them to thrive in environments that are difficult for most plants to thrive in, such as places with high snowfall or extremely dry soil.
• Some of these adaptation techniques, such as hydration retention and cold protection, have many applications. Snow will collect on branches, leaves, and needles after heavy snowfall.
• Conifers (mountains) have a conical structure that prevents snow accumulation, whereas broad trees can accumulate snow. The tree's cone form also aids in the rapid melting of snow and the capture of sunlight.
