An adaptation that might<span> help a plant survive in an environment with cold winters is developing pine needles or losing leaves during such periods of time.</span>
There are many ways in which a plant can adapt itself to cold winters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Adaptation is the ways an organism can obtain what ir needs despite the sorrounding environment. Plants adapt themselves to be able to suit a cold weather. They need water to survive and they can't take it from snow or they need to prevent water from evaporating.
Some plants drop their leaves because they evaporate water into the air. Other plants keep their leaves called needle leaves. They reduce water loss by transpiration. Some plants have a thick bark, which protects the trunk from extreme winter cold. Some others have a conical shape, which doesn't allow the snow to stay for a long time. The same happens with plants with downward sloping branches, which allow snow to slide off more easily. Plants need to survive cold winters and their different parts help them do so.
