v They are covered in a waxy substance that helps them keep water under the 'skin' of the plant.
v Theirs 'leaves' are in the shape of needles which helps them retain water as it has less surface area. They also act as self defence to stop animals from eating them.
Hope this helps =)
they store water in their stems,forexample, cactus plant
Cacti are able to store water in their fleshy stems.
Cactus are eaten in most places in the world where they grow. But now they are becoming available in grocery stores. Some cactus store water and can be life-saving when folks are lost in the desert and without water. Jams and jellies are sometimes made from the fruit/flowers of some cactus, notably the prickly pear.
The Sonoran Desert covers much of Arizona and extends into parts of New Mexico. It is known for its unique plant and animal life, including saguaro cactus and javelinas.

no
It provides animals in the desert what they need to survive . It gives them food ,some a home and let's the other cactus be there after it dies.
Yes, there are species of moss that have adapted to life in the desert.
nothing they have already adapted to the desert life if you change it they will die
There is no one life span for a cactus.Specifically, the life span depends upon the kind of cactus. For example, the prickly pear (Opuntia spp) tends to live just 20 years. But the giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) may live more than 150-200 years.

A cactus has adapted to life in the desert by the following modifications: 1. It survives on a small amount of water, as water is scarcely available in deserts. 2. It has developed sharp thorns to protect itself against desert animals looking for plants to eat. 3. It does not have many leaves/branches as more leaves mean more evaporation [escape of water from its body] in the desert heat. 4. It has thick leaves to prevent escape of water.

camels have humps to store fat
they have adapted in life by drinking water and to be safe
Yes, desert bugs eat cactus plants.Specifically, arid, dry, hot climates are home to bugs as well as to cactus plants. Bugs such as aphids, leaf-footed bugs, and mealy bugs enjoy desert life, where they will attack cactus plants. They will be joined by arachnids such as spider mites and insects such as the cactus moth in its larval stage as a plant-devouring caterpillar.
