Thorns are leaf modifications in opuntia (a type of cactus) and a stem modification in bougainvillea. So it depends on the type of plant.
Cacti do not have leaves. The leaves have been replaced by spines.
yes this a very delicous snack
The stem of a cactus performs the function of a leaf because it has evolved to carry out photosynthesis. In some cacti, the stem is able to produce chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis, enabling the plant to generate energy from sunlight. This adaptation allows cacti to survive in arid environments where leaves would lose too much water through transpiration.

The leaves of a cactus have been reduced to spines to deter herbivory. The stems are fleshy and photosynthetic. The stomata are sunken into the surface of the leaf to increase the boundary layer.
Yes, desert bugs eat cactus plants.Specifically, arid, dry, hot climates are home to bugs as well as to cactus plants. Bugs such as aphids, leaf-footed bugs, and mealy bugs enjoy desert life, where they will attack cactus plants. They will be joined by arachnids such as spider mites and insects such as the cactus moth in its larval stage as a plant-devouring caterpillar.
