What are the similarities of an euphorb that grows in the African desert and a cactus that grows in the American desert?
Both euphorbs and cacti are adapted to arid environments, featuring specialized structures that minimize water loss, such as thick, waxy skins and spines instead of leaves. They have succulent tissues that store water, allowing them to survive prolonged droughts. Additionally, both plants often exhibit similar growth forms and reproductive strategies, such as producing flowers to attract pollinators, despite belonging to different plant families. These adaptations enable them to thrive in harsh desert conditions.
