Solution

The trees growing in colder regions are conical in shape with a tall, straight trunk and are called coniferous trees. The conical shape of these plants causes snow to slide down and prevents them from accumulating on the leaves and branches. Therefore, preventing the leaves and branches from being damaged due to heavy, cold snow.
