The leaves reduce heat loss by forming an insulating layer of air around each branch-like prong of the flora. Each leaf is encased in a very thin layer of cellulose, with a natural wax on each cellulose casing. The cellulose layer is ragged-looking on the microscopic level, like a human hair. The thinness of the leaves reduces water loss by reducing surface area. While the piomike's roots do collect water, it can collect additional water by absorbing the dew that collects on its fuzz. Piomikes never naturally drop their leaves, but the fuzz layer will regenerate if sliced off. (so the cutaway slice in the image above isn't lethal to the individual depicted.) The piomike's thorns are hidden within its thick layer of fuzz.
