a cactus is a kind of a plant adapted to hot, dry climates.[2] plants which live this kind of life-style are called xerophytes. most are succulents, which store water.

cacti are members of the plant family cactaceae, in the order caryophyllales. there are about 127 genera, with over 1750 known species. almost all of them are native to the americas, from patagonia in the south to parts of western canada in the north. the species rhipsalis baccifera also grows in africa and sri lanka.[3]

theophrastus was the first to use the word cactus: it comes from ancient greek κάκτος, kaktos. theophrastus used it for a spiny plant whose identity is not known for sure.[4] cacti are part of an important food chain in dry, hot climates. now cacti have spread to many other parts of the world, and many people like to grow them in pots or gardens.

many cacti live in dry places, such as deserts. most cacti have sharp thorns (stickers) and thick skin. there are many shapes and sizes of cacti. some are short and round; others are tall and thin. many cactus flowers are big and beautiful. some bloom at night and are pollinated by moths and bats. some cactus fruits are brightly coloured and good to eat: many animals eat cactus fruits.
