The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) does not have traditional leaves like many other plants. Instead, it has a thick, waxy skin that helps reduce water loss and spines that serve to deter herbivores and provide some shade. The spines are modified leaves, and the saguaro's structure, which includes ribbed arms, allows it to expand and store water during periods of rainfall.
