A cactus can reproduce both a sexual and asexual way. Sexual reproduction is done through pollination through the small amount of flowers that a cactus will produce. The cactus will reproduce in an asexual way through offsets and cutting off a piece of the cactus.
The fruits produced by cacti after the flowers have been fertilized vary considerably; many are fleshy, although some are dry. All contain a large number of seeds. Fleshy, colorful and sweet-tasting fruits are associated with seed dispersal by birds. The seeds pass through their digestive systems and are deposited in their droppings. Fruit that falls to the ground may be eaten by other animals.
