Many plants, like cacti and certain types of succulents, have evolved to be prickly as a defense mechanism against herbivores. The spines deter animals from eating them, helping to ensure their survival. Additionally, these adaptations can help reduce water loss by creating a microclimate around the plant, thereby aiding in moisture retention in arid environments.
