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.
