Exudate is the scientific name for 'cactus juice'. The fluid appears when cactus plant tissues are damaged or opened. The term also refers to the solutions that the roots release into the soil, as the cactus plant's waste products.

A cactus plant is classed scientifically in the plant kingdom, Plantae. As a flowering plant, it's classified as a member of the Magnoliophyta division. It grows from a two leaved embryo. So it's a dicotyledonous member of the Magnoliopsida class and the Caryophyllales order. It's classified as a member of the Cactaceae family. The specific genus and species names depend upon the particular cactus. For example, the goat's horn cactus [Astrophytum capricorne] carries the species name 'capricorne', which is one of only four species names within the Astrophytum genus.
