They minimize water loss
Smaller leaves limit the loss of water through transpiration.
Small leaves are an adaptation to desert environments because they reduce the surface area for water loss through transpiration. By minimizing leaf size, plants can conserve moisture in the hot, arid conditions typical of deserts. Additionally, smaller leaves can help reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption and further protecting the plant from extreme temperatures. This adaptation enhances the plant's chances of survival in a challenging ecosystem with limited water availability.
Having large leaves to capture sunlight in low-light conditions is an adaptation in a rainforest that would not be suitable in a desert where water conservation is more critical.
Because they are in the desert where the effect of the sun is overkilling,hence they have evolved this form for their survival(adaptation)
