Regular leaves provide a large surface area for evaporation of water to occur, the tiny spines do not. The spines actually collect moisture from the air and let it drip down to the roots of thecactus. It is a misconception that cactiactually live in true deserts where the ground is all sand.

hey mate here is ur answer.

Like all plants and living things , cacti need water to survive. Given where they live, there is obviously very little access to water. To compensate for that, cacti have developed special proclivities that allow them to conserve the water they receive for a long time
