A cactus plant tends to take on a branching, columnar or round shape. The shape is necessary for the stem to have enough room to move, process, and store water, nutrient solutions, and energizing photosynthetic products. The responsibility for storage tends to be that of the roots in most plants. But the cactus needs to conserve energy and water in its extreme, harsh native environment. The energy, nutrient solutions, and photosynthetic products tend to be most needed above ground. So that's why they're found in the shoots instead of the roots of a cactus.

Where can you find a diagram of a saguaro cactus?

I don't think there is one, but here's all I can say: -The fruit on the cactus is called a fig. -In late spring, flowers bloom on the cactus arms. -The trunk of the saguaro is the stem. -Inside the cactus, there are tubes that run water through the plant. -There are spiky needles on the outside. -Sometimes, the cactus is crested, where the top is in a fan-like shape. Biologists fight over why.
