thorny devil lizards need spikes to camouflages in the desert that they live in so predators do not see them
Vegetation in the desert has adapted to be able to survive the hot climates. They have very long thick roots and can store water for long periods of time.
cacti, small leafless bushes and some types of trees
SOME desert plant have spikes, which reduce the surface area of the leaves so that the loss of water is reduced.
it has adapted by growing spikes to help not get eaten from its prey
Starfish live in the ocean and are very well adapted to it. They have lived there a long time.
Plants with spikes are adapted to deter herbivores and protect themselves from being eaten. The spikes act as a physical barrier, making it difficult for animals to access the plant's nutrients. Additionally, spikes can also help plants conserve water by reducing water loss through transpiration.
it stores water
Brine spikes are plants that live in freshwater biomes. They have adapted to include sharp spikes on their leaves to discourage animals from eating them.
They use their spikes as a defensive mechanism...
by drinking river water and using it spikes to live
Plants that live in the desert have long roots so when it DOES rain they are able to gather a lot of it. They also have small leaves and some have spikes so that other animals can't steal their water.
