Basic Information: Cactus (Cactaceae) is a plant and the national flower of Mexico. It belongs to a family of desert plants in the Caryophyllales order. Adapted to the water-deficient climate of deserts, the leaves have evolved into short spines to reduce water evaporation and also serve as a weapon to prevent animals from eating it; the stem has evolved into a thick, water-filled shape; at the same time, it grows roots with an extremely wide coverage to absorb the most rainwater during heavy rainfalls. Currently, there are nearly 2000 species of plants in the Cactaceae family.
