Describe two adaptations you see on the rose plant, and explain how they are adaptations for defense, survival, or reproduction. Use three to five sentences to explain this.
One adaptation on the rose plant is its thorns, which serve as a defense mechanism against herbivores or unwanted intruders, helping to protect the plant from being eaten or damaged. Thorns act as a physical deterrent, making it difficult for animals to approach or consume the plant. Another adaptation is the presence of a strong fragrance and bright colors in the flowers, which aid in the plant's reproduction. The fragrance and color attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, promoting cross-pollination between different plants and increasing the chances of successful reproduction.
