What adaptations does plants have to stop them losing water?

Most of these adaptations are transformations in the leaves, but in some cases, the body of the plant can evolve to survive in the environment. The cactus for example, has needles for leaves. The needles work just like leaves, except they have a much smaller surface area, to limit transpiration (the evaporation of water from the leaves in order to suck water up through the roots). Cacti also have water retention adaptations that allow them to store much more water than say a deciduous tree.

When will a plant stop taking in water?

Plants only stop taking in water when they die. Plants must continue getting healthy mineral water otherwise they will eventually die. They might stop taking in water when you pull them out of the soil. Plants also stop if you don't give them their resources that are necessary to survive. I think personally that plants are kind of helpless. Once its stem is cut, it will die immediately.
