These plants have thick, fleshy parts adapted to store water, enabling them to endure the extreme desert conditions. Their spines, which are modified leaves, serve as both protection from herbivores and a shade mechanism to reduce water loss. Some species of cacti can live for over 200 years, growing slowly and blooming spectacularly when conditions are right. The resilience and unique adaptations of cacti make them a symbol of endurance and beauty in harsh environments.
