They minimize water loss
The venus fly trap's adaptation is both behavioral and structural. Its structural adaptation is the specialized leaves that form a trap to capture prey, while its behavioral adaptation involves how it responds to stimuli, such as the closing of the trap when triggered by insect movements.

Small leaves reduce surface area for water loss through evapotranspiration, helping plants retain moisture in hot and dry conditions. This adaptation also helps plants regulate their internal temperature by minimizing exposure to intense sunlight, reducing overheating in hot areas.
Waxy leaves are an adaptation that helps plants reduce water loss through evapotranspiration, making them particularly beneficial in arid environments. The waxy cuticle acts as a barrier, preventing excessive moisture from escaping while still allowing for gas exchange. This adaptation enables plants to survive in conditions where water is scarce, helping them thrive in dry habitats. Additionally, the waxy surface can reflect sunlight, further protecting the plant from heat stress.

They minimize water loss
they grow in hot areas but, have long leaves for shade.
giraffes have long necks and spots
It has broad leaves to help absorb more light for photosynthesis.
Loosing leaves in winter is a late adaptation of (some) trees ; it became needed as leaves became larger and could not support a snow load.
No, it is an adaptation for storing water in times of plenty for use during a drought. By the way, cacti have no leaves so the proper term would be succulents. Cacti have fleshy stems for storing water.
