Trees have different leaf shapes because they live in different places and need to survive there. Imagine a tree that lives in the desert, it might have leaves shaped like needles so they don't lose water quickly. A tree near the ocean might have big, flat leaves that can catch rain and sunlight easily. It's like having different kinds of clothes for different weather.
Examples
- A pine tree in a desert has needle-like leaves so it doesn't lose water easily.
- A palm tree by the sea has long, narrow leaves to handle wind and salt spray.
