Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most conifers such as fir, pine, spruce and larch have needle-like leaves. Coniferous trees have long, thin leaves that resemble needles. They are also cone shaped. This allows the snow to slide off and prevents accumulation of snow on tree branches.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pine trees are coniferous trees. Coniferous trees have needle-shaped leaves, because it is easier to freeze flat broad leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conifers, or cone-bearing trees, evolved to have needles that retain more water and seeds that could hang out until there was enough moisture to take root. It may not seem like it, but needles are leaves.
