Cactus roots have adapted by burrowing deep to reach water that is not quickly evaporated by surface heat.
The stems grow very thick to act as a sort of insulation against evaporative loss.
And the leaves have evolved as needles which have a low surface area to reduce evaporation and to deter animals and insects that would pierce the stem to suck moisture from the plant.
no. cactus has different types shapes and sizes
its awsome lookin
The inside of a cactus has a white, milky looking liquid and it is pretty cool!
they look similarly to that of a tree or other large plant.
It depends on the type of cactus. You'll have to either edit this question and delete the answer or ask a new question about a specific type of cactus
The roots to a cactus are long thick and go very wide and deep. When it rains the roots absorb the water and store it in its leaves. The cactus doesnt need a lot of water. A couple drops a year will keep it alive. Its leaves are protected with spines.
Phototropism is the type of growth that the desert cactus plant shows above ground. It grows in response to the high levels of heat and light in the desert. The above ground parts are called the shoots, and the below ground roots. The roots grow in response to the search for moisture in the soil.
To collect the rare amounts of water in the desert as quickly as possible before the water evaporates.
They grow in clumps so if it is cold they are warm and if it is warm it still stays warm. :)
2 plants that grow in the desert are cactus and desert flowers. i hope this helps. excuse the improper grammar
Leaves have evolved into spines on the cactus.

it may or may not depending on speices.
In a desert, they adapt so that they are able to hold in and store more water. For example, there is a cactus.
Cactus are a desert plant, and so need to send their roots deep down for their food.
The roots absorb water and that makes the stem grow
A cactus that has flowers is giving the flowers fluids from within. A cactus is like a camel except with many more chambers. The cactus stores moisture for long periods of time.
it has long roots that edge into the ground so deep that they can find water and feed
