Yes, as is the case with foliage in general, the needles of the pine tree [Pinus spp] retain water. The needles are thick skinned and wax coated to keep inside the dissolved nutrients that the tree receives from the roots. As is the case with foliage, needles have breathing pores called 'stomata' on their surfaces.
Breathing pores regulate the exchange of gases. Specifically, some moisture may be gained or lost in the form of water vapor. But the ways in which needles are shaped long and thin, and protected by thick skins and wax coatings, favor vital water retention by the tree.

Trees lose water through transpiration (the passing of water vapor to the atmosphere). Pine needles are waxy, have a small surface area and have a groove in which the stomata are located. These features reduce transpiration.
Roots
The "needles" on a pine tree or other conifer are the plant's leaves, where photosynthesis takes place. The needles are long and slender because of the environment of the trees. Needles lose less water and heat than typical leaves.
Too much water can turn white pine needles brown. This is especially true in areas with poor drainage conditions and lots of rain.
Roots, trunk, branches, twigs , needles and cones.
Pine needles can be used for mulch/compost, animal bedding, and making baskets. The oil from pine needles can be used for cleaning products and as a health supplement.
Yes, goats can safely eat pine needles. Goats are known to eat all of the pine needles off a tree if they can reach them.
pine needles in Tagalog: no direct translation but it is referred to as pine tree also in Tagalog. Example is the Baguio pine tree.
Yes - the 'needles' of pine trees are their actual leaves.
If you are asking if one can be allergic to pine tree needles, the answer is YES. You can be.
Pine needles are only poisonous to humans if they consume a ton of them. Pine needles are not really made to be consumed anyway, but touching them or smelling them won't hurt you.
