They are well known for their rosette of thick, fleshy leaves that can grow quite large, depending on the species. The leaves often end in a sharp point with spines along the edges, a natural adaptation to deter herbivores. Agaves are crucial to the ecosystem as they provide food and shelter for various wildlife and are culturally significant plants, used by native peoples for food, fiber, and even making tequila.
