The leafs reduces its size on the stem which increases the surface area to volume ratio of the leafs, maximising the photosynthesis progress, at the same time with the small surface area per leaf, prevent excess water loss.
The other reason might be that decreasing the volume of plant itself somehow benefit on reducing water loss as water may be simply under going osmosis along the way in plant.
Not sure if this is right, can not find information somehow

If we consider any function that is not the main function that is declared as "bool" i.e it will return boolean values to the main function-0 & 1, meaning 'false' and 'true' respectively. If we have to tell the main function that the condition checked in the function is false or disagreed, then we return 0 to the main function and when we have to tell that the condition checked in the main function is true or agreed, then we return 1 to the main function.
