The cactus is a plant which grows in very hot, dry places. They do not have leaves. Instead,
they have spiny needles which stick out of their stems. There are many shapes of the cactus.
Some are small and round. Others are tall like columns or pillars. Some are shaped like tubes
or bells. Some are shaped like wheels. Some grow as trees or shrubs. Others grow as ground
cover. Cactus flowers are big, and some of them bloom at night. Their flowers come out at
night because they are pollinated by insects or small animals that come out at night. Insects
and small animals carry pollen from one cactus to another. Most cacti live in North and South
America. Others live in Africa, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. Cacti do not have very large
leaves because large leaves would allow the water to evaporate. When water evaporates, it
changes from a liquid to a gas. When it becomes a gas, it is light enough to move through the
air. That would be bad for the cactus because the cactus needs the water to live. Some cacti
have waxy coatings on their stems, so that water will run down the stem to the roots. Cacti
can absorb water from fog in the air, since it does not rain very much in the desert. Most cacti
have long roots which can spread out close to the surface so they can absorb a lot of water on
the occasions when it rains.
