it absorbs more water
Cactus are a desert plant, and so need to send their roots deep down for their food.
The roots of a cactus plant grow deep to find water in arid environments, while hickory tree roots spread wide to gather nutrients and water from a larger area. These root systems have evolved to help the plants survive in their respective habitats and optimize their access to necessary resources.
it wouldnt unless it rained alot and the rain was absorbed deep into the ground for the roots of the cactus to drink.
Yes, a saguaro cactus has roots.
Yes, the barrel cactus has roots.
it has long roots that edge into the ground so deep that they can find water and feed
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.
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.
Cactus roots are shallow and spread out widely to help the plant quickly absorb water in arid environments. The roots also have specialized adaptations, such as the ability to store water and prevent loss through evaporation, which help cacti survive in their dry habitats.
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.
No
Barrel cactus have fibrous roots
