Answer:

A cactus is able to survive in the desert due to:

(ii) Its leaves are in the form of spines to prevent water loss through transpiration.

(iii) Its stem is covered with a thick waxy layer to retain water.

Answer:

Many cacti thrive in areas that are extremely dry, such as the Atacama Desert — one of the driest places on Earth. 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.
