Answer 2

Answer:

1. Opuntia species are erect or spreading cacti, ranging from small low-growing shrubs to treelike specimens reaching 5 metres (16 feet) or more in height.
2. They are composed of flat joints, with paddlelike cladodes (photosynthetic stem segments) arising one from the end of another.
3. They readily reproduce asexually, and the paddles can be easily rooted for cultivation
4. In addition to longer spines, the cladodes bear characteristic glochidia—small bristles with backward-facing barbs in the areoles.
5. The showy flowers are commonly yellow, pink, or orange in colour, and many feature stamens that move in response to touch
