Question

Why do you think desert plants have thin leaves or no leaves at all?

• A. To have more flowers.
• B. To lose less water through transpiration.
• C. To absorb more water

The correct option is B

To lose less water through transpiration.

If the plants have less leaves or no leaves at all, it will lose less water by transpiration. In deserts there is scarcity of water. This helps them to reduce water loss.
