Cylindropuntia fulgida
The plant adapted to life in desert:
By its minor growth rate ( saves energy )
By its structure; it is composed of long, barbed cylinders that produce shorter barbed cylinders and finally circular barbed appendages called fruit, all these elements are optimized to store water.
These segments separate easily so that animals, and even a strongwind can disperse them, they stick to the ground far away from mother plant, take root and grow to a new cactus.
It has no leaves, only spikes, that prevents water loss by transpiration.
The thick covering of spines shades the plant from the desert heat and also prevent animals from eating the plant.
Green stems make food ( photosynthesize ), but lose less water than leaves because of sunken pores able to close in the heat of day.
