This is a picture of a cactus. Cactus is an example of how plants
adapt to their environment. Adaptations are special qualities of animals or
plants that help them survive in a particular environment. Plant adaptations
include color and structure. Because deserts only have an average rainfall of
10 inches, cacti need to learn to conserve water to last a whole year. The
cactus has adapted its body to the environment in order to survive. Cacti have
spines instead of leaves because spines do not lose water during evaporation.
It also protects the cacti from predators. The reason why plants can only live
in specific places is that if the plants lived somewhere else than they live
now, their adaptations will make it very difficult for them to survive.
