A cactus takes in oxygen above and below ground. Below ground, it takes in oxygen as part of the water molecule with hydrogen. It does so through its spreading, shallow, fibrous roots.
Above ground, it takes oxygen in from the air. It does so through the gas exchange that's regulated by the guard cells on either side of the stem's breathing pores, or stomata. Atmospheric oxygen exists as oxygen and in water vapor.
