No, the thick outer layer of a cactus doesn't help a cactus reproduce. Its main purpose is the prevention of evaporation or water loss from the cactus' inside contents of water, nutrient solutions, and energizing photosynthetic products. Instead, the most common forms of reproduction among cactus plants tend to be by their seeds, their jointed parts falling off and rooting, or their baby offsets.
