The strength of the leaves lies in adapting to the needs of the plant. If we think about the Cactus and the arid environment where it lives, we understand that it has to retain as much water as possible, so it turns its leaves into thorns and modifies the stem to store liquids.
A genus of plants that has turned its leaves into a trap are the Nepenthes, carnivorous plants native to tropical areas. These plant predators turn their leaves into a kind of funnel that is able to attract insects that, once entered, they can no longer get out and are digested by the plant.
