A stylized botanical illustration depicts a segmented prickly pear cactus, Opuntia spp. (common name: prickly pear cactus), showing flattened cladodes with areoles bearing small spines and pink developing flower buds. In biological hierarchy, the cladodes are modified stems of a vascular plant within the Cactaceae family. In botany and plant physiology, these pads conduct photosynthesis via CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) and store water in succulent parenchyma, supporting survival in arid habitats of the Americas. The entity illustrated is a plant (organism).
