2) Some cactus plants have long, fibrous roots that go deep inside the soil to gain the little moisture that is there in the soil. Other cacti plants have short roots that are close to the surface and absorb the water that falls as rain.

3) Cacti store water in their stems.

4) They also have a waxy surface so they do not lose water from evaporation.
