Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cactus is a desert plant. So, they need to store water in them. They generally store water in their fleshy stems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Baobab trees (Adansonia, Bombacaceae) are widely thought to store water in their stems for use when water availability is low.
Detailed explanation-3: -Don’t drink from a cactus. You don’t get ‘water’ from cactus; you get a stomachache and vomiting. In movies, you see a cowboy lop off the top of a barrel cactus-a big, beach ball-shaped cactus-dip his ladle in and get a drink of water. That’s not water, though. It’s a noxious fluid that’s very high in alkalis.
