It has extensive shallow root systems
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.
A rare type of Cactus.
Yeah, it is pretty rare :) it was my frist pin.
The rare "Lownds" cactus produces milk that can be consumed by humans.
All plants are adapted to photosynthesise also they rare adapted to store water in it's roots
Opuntia plants are adapted to desert environments with their succulent stems, which store water to survive in arid conditions. Their spines reduce water loss by minimizing surface area exposed to the sun and by deterring herbivores. Opuntia plants also have shallow but extensive root systems to quickly absorb water after rare rainfall events.
It is not rare for any motion to change quickly. When playing sports you should expect motions to change quickly.

Rain is very rare in the Atacama Desert. Some areas have not measured any rainfall in historic times.
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.
It can absorb and retain lots of water in a short time for later use It performs photosyntesis in a CAM system which saves lots of water It keeps the stomata closed during the day and absorbs CO2 at night It's leaves are thorns and the stem performs photosyntesis It's bloom is aimed at desert insects
