The Cactus' roots are extremely long so that they can suck water up from far away and search for the water. They also have a shallow root system to absorb surface water when there is some rain (or even dew).
The trunk of the Cactus is also a part of this as it acts as a storing place for the water.
The Cactus' spikes are specially there so that insects and animals don't eat it; the spikes are modified leaves, this reduces the amount of water lost through transpiration.
