Answer:

Small leaves - these ensure that less water is lost from the plant by transpiration because the leaf has a smaller surface area.

Tap roots - these are long roots (7-10 metres long) that reach deep under the ground to access water supplies.

Spines - some plants have spines instead of leaves.
