The barrel cactus [Ferocactus spp] takes its food by the involvement of water, nutrient solutions, and light. This photosynthetic interaction produces energizing foods such as starches and sugars. Indeed, it's the photosynthetic products that are behind a barrel cactus' successful life support activities. For example, they support growth, fruiting, and flowering.
