Xerophyte
no,there would be little change because the cactus wont be able to adapt to the environment.
there will be a little change because the cactus will not survive
A plant that grows in soil and holds little water is that is does not need nutrient.
'drinks' the little water the kalahari provides during the year (can be up to one meter high)
The fig trees can survive cause they grow really fast even with little water, and because they are sort of like cactus and hold water for a long time. :)
A cactus is an example of a xerophyte. Its ability to store water in its fleshy stems allows it to thrive in arid conditions with little rainfall.
They either store it in their trunks/stems like the baobab tree or the cactus. Or, they just need very little of it to survive.
Some plants that can survive with little water include succulents, such as aloe vera and cacti, as they store water in their leaves and stems. Other options are snake plants, ZZ plants, and pothos, which are known for being resilient and drought-tolerant. These plants require infrequent watering and can thrive in low-moisture conditions.
Any plant one sees growing in the desert doesn't need much water to survive. A plant requiring lots of water just does not grow in a desert. This includes succulents such as cacti, agaves and aloes, yuccas, ocotillos, some trees and shrubs, certain grasses and other smaller plants.
Many species of cacti can survive a frost. Some can survive temperatures that are below zero for a time. However, there are species of cacti that are more tropical in nature and cannot tolerate freezing temperatures.
Cactus Hill is important because it shows scientist the everyday life of the early Paleo-Indians. Without this archaeological dig site we would have little knowledge about the people who lived here thousands of years ago and what they did to survive.
