• Cacti also have spines (the prickly thorn like things) in which replace leaves. These spines minimise the surface area of the cactus reducing water loss. The cacti's stem is also thick and fleshy allowing it to store a lot of water. The stem also has a waxy waterproof kind of coating to help retain more water.
