Xerophyte
A xerophyte plant is any plant adapted to life in a dry or physiologically dry habitat (salt marsh, saline soil, or acid bog) by means of mechanisms to prevent water loss or to store available water. A cactus is a xerophyte plant because the harsh heat of the desert makes it want to store and keep water as long as it can.
