Answer 2

Answer:-

Because evergreen conifers tend to grow in areas where snow falls, needles have adapted to reduce damage from the accumulation of snow. Because needles are narrow, it's difficult for snow to remain on the leaves, and it falls to the ground. It only accumulates if there is a density of needles.
