no The term ‘vegetable’ generally means the edible parts of plants, and has little meaning otherwise. The cactus is not a fruit, and so probably falls into the category of “vegetable’.

What does a cactus plant use for making shelter?

A cactus plant tends to dominate its environment, particularly if that habitat is the desert. In such a bright, dry, hot niche, the cactus tends to be the main form of vegetation. Any other vegetation tends to be the understory to the cactus, and not the other way around, except in the jungle.So a cactus plant tends to use its own body parts as its shelter. The main sheltering body part is the thickened stem to move, process and store nutrient solutions and photosynthetic products. Another is the modified leaf in the form of thorns, spines, spikes, quills, prongs, needles, hairs or bristles. The modified leaf protects the plant from predators.


Where are cactus plants the dominant vegetation?

Cactus plants are the dominant vegetation in the desert. They grow in harsh, severe environments in which they have no strong plant competitors. This is another way in which they differ from jungle cactus. In the humid, moist environment of the tropical jungle, cactus plants face competition from other vegetation. But they have a working relationship with trees upon whose trunks and branches they anchor their airy, soil-less roots.


Why is it illegal to remove a saguaro cactus?

The saguaro only grows in the deserts of Arizona. If they were not protected, commercial cactus nurseries would quickly remove the plants to sell for landscaping across the warmer regions of the southwest. Texas has no such rules and areas that were once covered by a variety of cactus species and other desert vegetation are now devoid of these interesting plants.


Does the antelope eat the whisker cactus?

Antelope do not typically eat whisker cactus, as their diet primarily consists of grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Whisker cactus, with its spiny and tough structure, is generally avoided by most herbivores. However, in extreme conditions where food is scarce, some animals may nibble on various plants, including cacti, but this is not common behavior for antelope.
