Cacti differ from other plants by having modified leaves called spines or needles, which help reduce water loss and protect the plant from animals. This adaptation allows cacti to thrive in arid environments where water is scarce.

Cacti are perfect desert plants because they thrive in dry climates. They receive their light from the sun through their stem. They don't have leaves so they conserve water.
the main plants in a desert are "succulents" (cacti and other) which hold their water in their leaves
No, agaves are not cacti. They belong to the Agavaceae family, while cacti belong to the Cactaceae family. Agaves do share some similarities with cacti, such as their ability to store water in their leaves, but they are botanically different plants.
Succulent desert plants, such as cacti and agaves, store water in the tissues of their leaves and stems. This allows them to survive in arid environments with limited water availability by storing excess water for times of drought.
Some examples of plants that do not have leaves include cacti, succulents, and certain types of fungi. These plants have adapted to survive in arid environments by storing water in their stems or other parts of their bodies instead of using leaves for photosynthesis.
Brambles and roses have thorns. Cacti have sharp spines and holly has spikey leaves. This is to stop animals from eating them.

any plants that didn't like high humidity, or having their roots too wet. cacti and succulents for example
Cacti are typically classified as evergreen plants, meaning they retain their foliage year-round. However, some cacti species may shed their spines or leaves in response to environmental changes or seasonal variations.
