The hedgehog cactus [Echinocereus spp] reproduces naturally by fleshy seeds. The seeds are found in its green to purple berries. They quickly are spread by the fruit's predators, such as birds and rodents. Additionally, the hedgehog cactus may reproduce by having its babies, or offsets, clumped or divided.

On their own, cactus plants tend to reproduce in one of three ways. One is by the germination of their seeds. Another is by the production of babies, which are called offsets.Still another is by the rooting of body parts that break off and fall onto the ground.

The saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] survives by the team work of its modified body parts and jobs.

Specifically, the saguaro cactus stem grows so tall and thick that its appearance is treelike. The thickness protects the water supplies that are moved, processed and stored inside the plant's juicy flesh. The columnar stem is helped in this job by the lack of leaves and by it being the location of stomata or breathing pores.

This efficient design concentrates water handling and gas exchange jobs into the same body part. This saves on energy. There is no duplication of labor and less loss of water.
It has a waxy outer skin to protect it from water loss. It also has really tight lines of spikes to a animal can't get to it. It has roots that go down to where the soil it damp.

It reproduces by feeling itself, then getting hot and steamy, producing chocolate, which then it eats, and then pooping out ducks with spikes
