In the desert region, you can find a plant which is called cactus. Usually, these plants are grown in a very hot and dry place. These plants don't have leaves, instead, they have spiny needles which stick out of their stems. They grow in many shapes; some are small and round while some are tall like columns or pillars. They also grow as trees or shrubs while others grow by covering the ground. The flowers which grow on cactus are big in size and most of them bloom at night. The reason why the flower blossoms during night is that the insects or small animals which come out during night carry pollen from one cactus to another. Most cacti are found in North and South America. Others are found in North Africa, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. They have small leaves, avoiding the water to stay within the leaves. The water inside the leaves evaporates as it changes its state from liquid to gas. As water becomes a gas, it is light enough to move through the air which in turn is bad for the cactus because the cactus needs water to live. To avoid the water to run down the stem, some cacti have waxy coatings. Also, they absorb water from fog in the air as it does not rain very much in the desert.
