Best Answer

The cactus modified leaves to sreate its spines, which are used for protection and storage of water.

Carniverous plants have the "mouths," which are modified to help the plant obtain its needed nitrogen.

Coniferous trees created needles instead of leaves. These needles are used for water storage and photosynthesis, and they have a very thick cuticle.
