Cacti have thick, waxy cuticles that stop water loss.
Cactus' have a fleshy inside so when it rains it can hold water when it rains. Their roots either spread out far to collect the maximum amount of water it it rains (covers a large surface) or their roots go deep into the soil to get water from deeper. They have no leaves to minimise their water loss but instead of having chloropyll in thier leaves it is in thier stem. They are coated in spikes to prevent animals eating them (such as camels) for thier high water content.
The cactus has a number of structural adaptations that allow it to live in the harsh conditions of the desert. Many other plants lack these adaptations and cannot survive in a desert.
I think they have glossy leaves to reduce water loss.
A cactus has no leaves but does have a stem.
No, it is illegal to remove any cactus, living or dead, from deserts in Arizona.
A plant that doesn't need much water and lives in deserts
there is one plant that survives in the very harsh deserts that is cactus.
no,a cactus can't survive in northpole because it will become frozen and it would die. Cactus can almostly survive in any climate. In northpole it is very cold and the cactus is not adapted to low temperatures. Cactus need warmth and in northpole there is freezing weather and freezing water, cactus can't survive in northpole.
they dig deep down to the part were it can find water.
A Cactus.
The giant cactus would not survive in the British climate because they are adapted to grow in the arid areas.

Yes
Well, it depends on the type of plant. If it's a cactus plant, then it could live longer. If it's a regular plant such as a flower, it will not survive long.
deserts

long roots that reach deep down
cactus need less water thus they grow in deserts
