Why are needle like leaves a good adaptation in cold weather?
Pines are one of the most resilient plants known, they can survive the freezing cold of Siberia and at the same time grow in warm and tropical areas. They are classified as gymnosperms. All gymnosperms have leaves that are needle-like and reproduce through the use of cones. I'm sure that everyone has wondered why a gymnosperm can keep it's green foliage, even when it is covered in snow and other plants have lost their leaves. The simple answer is that it has leaves like that because it has to survive in cold areas of the world. The narrow leaves are channeled as such because it does not want the snow to rest on it's leaves, so it has evolved to be as small as possible, so the snow can mostly just fall of the leaf. The leaves actually have a special coating on their leaves comprising of special enzymes, so that it does not get affected by the snow in direct contact with the leaves for half the year.
