Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Artichokes are actually part of the thistle family, not the cactus family. They may look a bit prickly like a cactus, but they grow differently and have their own unique characteristics that make them special. Keep exploring the world of plants, there's always something new and wonderful to discover!
