The characteristics that help the cactus to adapt to its harsh environment are as follows:- *It's leaves are been modified to stems which prevents transpiration and save water for the plant *It's thorns protect it from eaten by any other animal.
Just the same as any other flowering plants. Plants adapt to their environment by evolution some cactus are plants adapted to dry conditions.
Leaves have evolved into spines on the cactus.

how do leeches adapt their environment
Rainforests have developed various adaptations to thrive in their environment, such as tall trees to capture sunlight, broad leaves for efficient photosynthesis, and dense foliage to retain moisture and provide habitat for diverse species. Additionally, many plants have evolved symbiotic relationships with animals for pollination and seed dispersal. The high biodiversity in rainforests helps in creating a resilient ecosystem that can withstand disturbances like storms and droughts.
The cactus in general and the peyote [Lophophora williamsii] adapt to their environment by adopting defensive strategies. Cactus plants tend to have modified leaves in the form of fearsome thorns, spines, spikes, quills, prongs, needles, hairs, or bristles. They also may store their internal fluids in bitter or toxic forms. Both efforts discourage predation. But where these are lacking, as in the case of the peyote, other defense mechanisms come into play. With the peyote, it's the production of mind altering hallucinogens.
If plants do not adapt, they do not survive in that particular environment.
