Answer 1

Answer:

Root hairs grow quickly on fibrous roots when there is rain so the cacti can collect the smallest amount of water. After the ground dries, root hairs die so the cacti doesn't have to use any water or energy to maintain them. Spines don't lose water! White dense spines help reflect sunlight.

They usually live in areas that are relatively dry. Many cacti thrive in areas that are extremely dry, such as the Atacama Desert — one of the driest places on Earth. Like all living things, cacti need water to survive. Given the areas where they live, though, water is often scarce.
