Description

las biznagas, que son cactus del género Echinocactus y Ferocactus, son plantas nativas de regiones áridas y semiáridas. Su importancia en el ecosistema radica en su capacidad para almacenar agua en sus tejidos y proporcionar hábitats para diversos animales pequeños, como roedores e insectos, además de servir como alimento para algunas especies.
