- A waxy surface protects the leaf from the environment, whilst still letting sunlight through. Leaves make food for the plant, in the form of glucose, a type of sugar. To do this they need Carbon Dioxide from the air, water from the soil and light from the sun. This amazing process is called photosynthesis.

Oct 31, 2023 · The xylem transports water and minerals to the leaves; the phloem transports the photosynthetic products to the other parts of the plant. Plants in cold climates have needle-like leaves that are reduced in size; plants in hot climates have succulent leaves that help to conserve water.
How do the leaves help the plants adapt to their watery habitats? Adaptations to Extreme Dryness Plants that live in extremely dry environments have the opposite problem: how to get and keep water.
Some plants have special adaptations that help them to survive in nutrient-poor environments. Carnivorous plants, such as the Venus flytrap and the pitcher plant (Figure \(\PageIndex{9}\)), grow in bogs where the soil is low in nitrogen. In these plants, leaves are modified to capture insects.
