A cactus plant may be tree like in its appearance, but no, it isn't a tree. One big difference between a cactus and a tree is the means by which water and dissolved nutrients are taken in by the plant. In a cactus, the work is done by vascular bundles. In a tree, it's done by the xylem.


also, all trees are plants.
