Answer 2

The leaves of kalabanda are reduced to spines because:

• Kalabanda is commonly called aloe vera.
• Leaves of aloe vera are reduced to the spine because it is grown in hot and humid places where rainfall occurs highly.
• It grows in soil with high organic matter but the soil should be well-drained.
• It grows in conditions of full sunlight and cannot tolerate water stagnation.
• So, due to these factors, the aloe vera plant for conserving water during transpiration is reduced to the the the spine as transpiration is the loss of water through leaves surfaces.
• Aloe vera is grown in dry places such as Alwar in Rajasthan, Satanapalli in Andhra Pradesh, Rajpipla in Gujarat and some parts of Tamil Nadu etc.
