A cactus plant needs soil to help its roots spread.

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.
