Deciduous plants shed their leaves in the fall and remain bare during the winter, while evergreen plants retain their leaves year-round. Deciduous plants often have broad leaves that capture sunlight for photosynthesis, while evergreens usually have needle-like leaves that reduce water loss in cold or dry conditions. Deciduous plants tend to be adapted to temperate climates, while evergreens are more common in colder or drier regions.
