Thorns can vary in hardness due to differences in their structure, composition, and the plants they come from. Some thorns may have a higher water content or be less densely packed, making them softer to the touch compared to thorns that are more rigid and densely structured. Additionally, the evolutionary purpose of the thorn can influence its hardness, with some evolved to be more pliable for defensive purposes while others are hard and sharp for protection.
