Why do cacti store water in their stems?

Like all living things, cacti need water to survive. ... Specialized stems allow cacti to store water for a long time since rainfall is often sporadic in the deserts that cacti call home. For example, a fully-grown saguaro cactus can soak up and store up to 200 gallons of water during a good downpour!
