A cactus (plural: cacti, cactuses, or cactus) is a member of the plant family Cactaceae,[Note 1] a family comprising about 127 genera with some 1750 known species of the order Caryophyllales.
'cot' and 'crib' In British English, a cot is a bed for a baby. A cot has high sides to prevent the baby from falling out. In American English, a bed like this is called a crib.
COTS that is modified by a purchaser, vendor or other party to meet customer requirements become modified off-the-shelf (MOTS). Generally once a COT is modified, it is the responsibility of the consumer to manage changes to the product. Procuring COTS products has become a necessity for several big businesses.
