Cacti grow in the semi-arid deserts, in which there is very little water, but there is still some. They grow there because that is their ecological niche; they are adapted to that kind of environment.
Clarification:
There are species of cacti that are adapted to living in a variety of habitats such as savannah, grassland, and even in rainforests.
