A picture of a desert habitat shows a fox, insects, and several cactus plants. What does a cactus plant need from its environment for survival?(1 point)

Question

Responses

soil to help its roots spread

clouds for shade

animals to eat its flowers

insects to eat

Answer 1

None of the above options are correct.

Cactus plants need very little water to survive and store water in their stems and leaves. They also require sunlight and warmth to grow properly. Additionally, they have adaptations such as spines to discourage herbivores from eating them and a shallow root system to quickly absorb rainwater.
