Solution

Gradual changes in the body parts and in the behaviour of the organisms in order to adjust to their surroundings are known as adaptations. This is a gradual and continuous process, which takes place over a long period of time. Needle like leaves and fleshy stems are the examples of adaptations seen in cactus plants in order to survive in the desert.
