Cacti have adapted to hot, dry climates in a number of different ways. Their leaves have grown spines in multiple clusters, which produce shadows on the plant. The spines also help the plant collect precious rain water and the morning dew.

The cactus has sharp ends in the form of modified leaves as thorns, spines, spikes, quills, prongs, needles, hairs, or bristles.
