Cactuses are thrifty plants that live in dry regions. They may not get much moisture where they live, but they manage to make the most of what they do get.
Since the cactus's long roots lie close to the surface of the ground, they can catch water from desert rains. And since the roots have a cork-like bark covering them, they can absorb the water quickly.
Because the cactus has no leaves, its stems do the job of manufacturing food for the plant and of storing its water. And because these stems grow upward rather than out, not too much of the plant faces the direct drying rays of the sun. These broad stems have a great deal of room for storing the water and a thick covering for protecting it.
In addition, the plant's sharp, pointed needles keep desert animals from sucking out this valuable liquid. However, cactus plants have saved the lives of thirsty people stranded in the desert.
A cactus plant only three feet tall may have roots spreading out to a length of ten feet across the desert!
A cactus' waxy skin helps it retain moisture in desert climates.
Flowers help cactus plants survive in the desert by attracting pollinators. Because of pollination, the cactus plants may have fruits full of seeds. For example, the giant saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] depends upon bats for pollination of its huge, light colored bat blossoms.
They survive by doing what a cactus does
it helps because
it is because cactus can survive in the desert so it is found in Atacama Desert.
I don't have a answer
yes a cactus will survive because it stores water in its trunk for when it needs it most
The main plant that is in the desert is the cactus. Cactus are able to hold water for extended periods of time in order to survive.

Too much water or temperatures below freezing can damage or kill a saguaro cactus.
