A look at how cacti are able to survive and grow in the harsh, dry desert environment. The spines on a cactus help to protect it from humans and animals. Its roots are spread out to collect water when it does rain and it stores water in its body for future use.
Cacti have many evolutionary adaptations for living in extreme drought conditions. The average cactus has no leaves at all, because leaves transpire or âbreatheâ through pores on their undersides, and a plant with leaves loses a lot of water that way. Instead, a cactus uses the strategy of no leaves, just its bare stem, what looks like the body of the cactus.
