Why do roots of a cactus plant spread just below surface of ground?

The roots of a cactus plant spread just below the surface of the ground to quickly absorb any moisture that falls as precipitation. This adaptation allows the cactus to maximize water uptake during rare rainfall events in arid environments. Additionally, shallow roots help the cactus stabilize itself in the sandy or rocky soil typical of its habitat.

Why do cactus roots grow close to surface?

Cactus roots grow close to the surface to quickly absorb any moisture from rain or dew before it evaporates in arid environments. This adaptation helps them survive in dry conditions with limited access to water. Additionally, shallow roots allow cacti to anchor themselves securely in the sandy or rocky soils commonly found in their native habitats.
