Which of the two types of roots do you think are the best for the cactus to get water and why?
Cacti typically benefit most from shallow, widespread roots, as these allow them to quickly absorb water from light rains or dew. This root system enables the cactus to capture moisture efficiently in arid environments, where water availability is unpredictable. Additionally, having a shallow root network helps prevent competition with deeper-rooted plants for scarce resources. Overall, these adaptations are crucial for the survival of cacti in their naturally dry habitats.
