GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1978—PAGE 7A Saguaro cactus ...a life saver in the desert sun The Science Corner Some of the oddest but most interesting plants in the world grow in the desert. One of these is the saguaro. It can grow skyward as high as 50 feet and live for 200 years. This green tower needs three things to stay alive: sun, water, and air. But there is too much sun and too little water in the desert and so nature has planned won- derful ways to even this imbalance. One of these ways is to give the plant a water "storage tank". The "tank" is right in _the center of its pulpy stem. Its roots are wide -spread and some are only inches below the surface of the earth so that it can absorb whatever rain falls before it is evaporated. When the "tank" is empty, the plant looks all shriveled up: after a rain, the water is quickly drawn up from the roots, and its pulpy stem can expand until 90'percent of it may be water. The cactus lives on the water it has stored. Many a thirsty traveller, caught in the desert without water, Lias saved his life by chopping off a cactus stem to squeeze out the liquid it contains.
