All animals and plants have adaptations that help them survive in their environment. Examples of Plant Adaptations:

Support/food storage: Above ground (prop) roots, Stiff cell walls in stems and trunks (vascular tissue that also carries water and food), Starch storage in roots.

Prevention of water loss: Waxy cuticle, stomata on leaves, reduced leaf surface area (cactus), seed coats.

Reproduction: Seed dispersal by wind and animals, colors to attract pollinators

Defense: Toxins, thorns, bark.
