Cactuses have needles and thick skin as adaptations to survive in arid environments. The needles reduce water loss by minimizing surface area and creating a microclimate that traps moisture, while also deterring herbivores. The thick skin helps to retain water and provides protection from extreme temperatures and physical damage. Together, these features enable cactuses to thrive in harsh, dry conditions.
