(i) Spines—The leaves may be modified to form spines to reduce water loss by transpiration in desert plants.
(ii) Tendril — The stem may occur in the form of their thread – like leafless branch called tendril. It has the ten-dency to coil around any object and help the plant to climb it
(iii) Scale leaves — Scale leaves are present in some plants like onion and ginger. They are thin and dry or thick and fleshy and their function is to protect buds
