No they don't. BEcause of their natural environment (the desert), where water is scarce, cacti develop shallow root systems. They are shallow, but they spread out, making it more likely that the plant would find surface water.
No, most Cacti (this is the plural not cactus) have roots that only reach about 10cm at the deepest but which spread out over a large area to collect rain water. Deep roots are for accessing the water deep underground
no because its roots go deep into the soil to collect water to store.
Cacti have very strong roots that go deep into the Earth searching for water. Since they go so far, they must be very strong. The stronger the roots, the deeper they search for water. Roots secure plants to the ground, but some can't. Cacti can.
Probably. Its roots go deep.
Taproot Watermelons feature a highly branching tap root extending up to 1 m deep into the soil. Some 15, occasionally more, lateral roots run from the main root. These, in turn, branch into smaller roots, resulting in an extensive root system which normally threads 7-10 m3 of soil 15 to 30 cm deep in the topsoil.
Extremely carefully.
By evolution
it absorbs more water
Cactus are a desert plant, and so need to send their roots deep down for their food.
shallow roots extend away from a plant long; thinck roots that grow deep
it wouldnt unless it rained alot and the rain was absorbed deep into the ground for the roots of the cactus to drink.
Yes, the barrel cactus has roots.
Yes, a saguaro cactus has roots.
it has long roots that edge into the ground so deep that they can find water and feed
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.
A Cactus has roots to absorb as much water as possible when it rain also to support the Cactus when it bad weather such as wind.
long roots that reach deep down
Cacti have very strong roots that go deep into the Earth searching for water. Since they go so far, they must be very strong. The stronger the roots, the deeper they search for water. Roots secure plants to the ground, but some can't. Cacti can.
