A cactus or cacti is a plant of the family
Cactaceae, although the term is commonly
applied to many different succulent and
prickly plants. True cacti have a woody
central core overlaid with an enlarged fleshy
stem, which assumes various forms and is
usually covered with spines. They all have
special adaptations to growing in dry areas.
