Question

which of these adaptations helps cacti hold on to water? choose one option a deep roots b large leaves c sprawling roots d green color

Explanation:

Cacti have sprawling roots that can quickly absorb water when it rains. Deep roots are more for reaching water sources far down. Large leaves would lose more water (cacti have spines instead). Green color is for photosynthesis, not water - holding.

Answer:

C. sprawling roots
