Let us understand the following specific characteristics of plants to adapt
            to climate and seasonal changes.

                HOT CLIMATE AND DRY SEASON



                 I’m a cactus plant. I can survive in a
                 hot climate and during the dry season.
                 My leaves are modified as spikes to
                 prevent water loss. My stem can store
                 water and my long roots can absorb
                 water deep in the soil.
