Description
Cacti are succulent plants belonging to the family Cactaceae, known for their ability to thrive in arid and desert environments. They store water in their thick, fleshy stems, which help them survive prolonged droughts. Most cacti have spines instead of leaves, reducing water loss and protecting them from herbivores. They come in various shapes and sizes, from small, round species to towering columnar varieties like the saguaro cactus.
