Answer:
Cacti have a thick, hard-walled, succulent stem – when it rains, water is stored in the stem. The stems are photosynthetic, green, and fleshy. ... A thick, waxy coating keeps the water inside the cactus from evaporating. Many cacti have very long, fibrous roots, which absorb moisture from the soil.
