Aloe vera actually has spines, not true thorns. They are to protect the plant from damage from animals that may want to eat them

The thorns form when the plant gets older. Pick the greens before the thorns appear and they will be tasty. If a leaf is thorny- too late.

Cactus spines prevent moisture loss from plants. Spines also defend the plants from grazing animals. The spines are just modified leaves.
Prevent other animals from eating them.
