It depends upon how huge the cactus is. But generally, a huge cactus can fill more than 90% of its insides with water, nutrient solutions, and energizing photosynthetic products. More than 90% of its parts is devoted to moving, processing, and storing water. In fact, both figures hold true, be the cactus among the hugest or the smallest.
