2. Adaptation of a Plant



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.
