Why do cactus have fleshy stems?
Room for moving and storing water, dissolved nutrients, and byproducts of photosynthesis are the reasons for a cactus having a big stem.
Specifically, water and nutrients need to be on hand for the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight to make energizing food. In many other plants, photosynthesis takes place in the leaves while storage takes place there and elsewhere. But the cactus needs plenty of space for both the photosynthesis and the storage that take place in the plant's stem.
Additionally, stem size is increased by the thick outer wall. The wall and such protections as waxy coatingsguard the stem against environmental stresses such as strong sunlight and little moisture. They also defend the stem against environmental stressors such as predatory pests and pathogens.
