Question

The “needles” on coniferous trees _____.

Answer 1

Can remain on the tree in winter without freezing. 

Answer 2

Helps to retain more water and seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The cone-bearing trees have evolved to needles as they allow to capture more water as they have thick wax coatings. Like the fir pine, spruce and birch all have needles. They can easily survive in ice and snow and are wind resistant that big and fat leaves. Also are hard for insects to eat.
