curled up leaves intend to block the stomata from direct sunlight that would rather take up more water from the plant. This helps the plant to retain more water in the dry seasons

Why do trees lose leaves in winter?
There are different types of plant that survive in winter and that not like the one that doesn't survive are ANNUALs: these are the plants that produce a handsome amount of seeds during spring season. But they don't survive in winter. But in the spring season, new plants grow from the seeds.Second one is PERENNIALSThese are plants that survive during the winter season. Usually the plant part that breeds above the ground expires, but the roots are protected by snow layers.Then in the season of spring, this plant will start to grow once again.All plants find ways to survive the winter. The reason why plants lose their leaves are1- In the winter, heat becomes less available.2- In the winter, light become less available.3- In the winter, Water becomes less available.4- In the winter, minerals become less available.5- The plants then began to get rid of the leaves by discontinuing the flow of food to these expire leaves.And once the supply of the food from plant to leaves is close off, these leaves began to change their colour and with the passage of time they beginning to fall off.

How do you identify the type of parsley plant in your garden?
The types of parsley I'm familiar with are the Italian or French parsley with its flat leaves that look a bit like celery leaves, and the 'normal' curled parsley with its dense finely cut and curled leaves. The Italian parsley is more strongly flavored than the curled, and grows taller when mature.Take a look at the Related Link under the blue box at the left for a photo of the two main types.

In dry climate, the leaves will modify themselves to spines to minimize their water loss by transpiration.
How do cacti survive?
A cactus has a fleshy stem and has no leaves. Leaves are the parts of any plant which plays a role in transpiration, i.e., leaves transpire. The excess water is therefore lost to the environment from the leaves. In a cactus, the leaves are modified into thorns. So, there is no such transpiration. There is loss of excess water. Water is therefore retained which can be used by the plant any time. Thus, the extremely hot climate doesn't affect it.
What is the purpose of the leaves of a plant?
