In cacti, the leaves are modified into spines. This adaptation helps reduce water loss by minimizing surface area and provides protection against herbivores. The stem of the cactus, which is typically thick and fleshy, is responsible for photosynthesis and water storage.
Cacti might have had predators that would eat them in their new environment and cacti might have learn to adapt to that with their spine-formed leaves.
