The structure of a cactus plant is uniquely adapted to its arid environment. Cacti typically have thick, fleshy stems that store water and are covered by a waxy cuticle to reduce water loss. They often have spines instead of leaves, which serve to minimize evaporation and provide protection from herbivores. Additionally, many cacti have shallow root systems that spread out to efficiently absorb moisture from light rainfalls.
