A cactus has a smooth waxy outer skin which does not lose much water, and the internal structure of a cactus contains many hollow tubes for water storage.

Cacti are equipped with many adaptations that suit them for the desert life. Instead of leaves, from which water escapes
easily, this magnificent plant has spines, which greatly narrow down
water evaporation. The spines also protect the cactus from hungry
predators such as birds. A cactus has short roots, which also minimize
evaporation. A cactus is a vascular plant, meaning it can support
itself while growing to amazing heights. The saguaro cactus can grow
unto an astonishing 45ft. Probably the most amazing fact about this
plant is that even in its harsh climate some cacti can survive over 200
years! These adaptations allow certain cacti to survive 3 years without
water; a human can barely survive 4 days.
