The cactus family are highly adaptable to a new
environment. The plants are able to tolerate drought,
heat, poor soil, and cold. The modification of the stem
for water storage, the reduction or absence of leaves,
the waxy surfaces, and night-time opening of the
tissues for carbon dioxide uptake (the CAM process),
enable the plants to tolerate harsh conditions. Terms
used to describe plants with such adaptations include
xerophyte and succulent
