Black is the color of the seed of the saguaro cactus plant (Carnegiea gigantea).
Specifically, the seed starts out about the size of a grain of sand. It needs the filtered shade of the mesquite bush and some rare desert rain in order to start growing. With the rain, the seed swells to twice its size. A few days later, it sends a long thin root down into the ground. It then sends two tiny seed leaves up through the soil. The mesquite protects the seed from the harsh sun and heat that can stop the seedling from ever reaching its mature height of 15 - 50 feet (4.572 - 15.24 meters).

What role does the Gila woodpecker have for the saguaro cactus?
One role that the Gila woodpecker [Melanerpes uropygialis] plays for the saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] is as pollinator. It's one of the major predators of the saguaro's large, edible, dark plum like fruits. In eating the fruit, it eliminates the seeds by which the saguaro naturally reproduces.Another role is as predator. In a way, it doesn't matter how many saguaro fruits that that woodpecker eats. What's important is the elimination of the digested seeds. It's a natural way of insuring perpetuation of the saguaro species.But the woodpecker affects another of the cactus' body parts other than the fruit. The woodpecker is known to drill holes into the stem, for nest building. The drilling and the nesting can be a problem, depending upon the extent of the damage.
Can you drink the water from saguaro cactus plants?
It probably isn't a good idea to drink the water from the saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea]. A cactus plant tends to store its water in bitter or toxic forms.
