Cactus will only take up as much water as they need and no more.
The reason cactus cannot live in a rainforest is that they will rot easily if they do not stay dry most of the time. They grow in sandy, well drained soil where their roots have a chance to dry out completely between rains. Therefore, they have never needed to develop defenses against rot-producing organisms.
Most cactus also need lots of sunlight, a commodity hard to find on the rainforest floor.

How is the cactus adapted in the desert?
The Cactus' roots are extremely long so that they can suck water up from far away and search for the water. They also have a shallow root system to absorb surface water when there is some rain (or even dew). The trunk of the Cactus is also a part of this as it acts as a storing place for the water. The Cactus' spikes are specially there so that insects and animals don't eat it; the spikes are modified leaves, this reduces the amount of water lost through transpiration.

Why do roots of a cactus plant spread just below surface of ground?
The roots of a cactus plant spread just below the surface of the ground to quickly absorb any moisture that falls as precipitation. This adaptation allows the cactus to maximize water uptake during rare rainfall events in arid environments. Additionally, shallow roots help the cactus stabilize itself in the sandy or rocky soil typical of its habitat.
