cacti are already adapted to the desert but its adaptations include roots that either are spread apart to catch more water or are close together and very deep so that it can snag more water from the lower layers of sediment that may contain water

The transpiration is minimized. Sacullent tissue is in abundance and to overcome excess heat milky sap is present in the plant body.

How can a cactus stay alive in the desert?

The inside of a cactus is filled with a very sponge-like, fleshy white core. When it rains, or moisture is collected through dew, the cactus absorbs a large amount of water and stores it in the spongy cells, similar to how camels store fat in their humps. When it gets hot again, the cactus feeds very slowly off its new water supply to stay alive. Cacti do not grow very fast. This is because the energy it would take to grow quickly would use up all their stored water they need to survive.
