how do cactus and croton plants make food?
- Cacti and croton make food through the process of photosynthesis, like any other plant.
- Since cacti have their leaves reduced to spines, therefore photosynthesis takes place through the stem. The stems are green by the presence of chlorophyll to make food for the plant.
- In croton, only the green portions of the leaf take part in photosynthesis.
