A look at how cacti are able to survive and grow in the harsh, dry desert environment. The spines on a cactus help to protect it from humans and animals. Its roots are spread out to collect water when it does rain and it stores water in its body for future use.
One interesting plant that grows in the desert is the giant saguaro cactus. This cactus is unique because it has adapted so well to the desert conditions that it can grow to reach over 20 feet and live for more than 200 years. These cacti are able to survive for so long because of several well-developed adaptations.
