Somehow until this very moment i had never contemplated the fact that cacti have normal roots. That if you dug up a cactus you'd find Regular Plant Roots under it

Cactus roots spread outwards far more than other plants because water is rare in the desert and it lets them get more moisture. So their roots don't go deep like a normal plant, they go super wide. It is important to me that you know this fact I memorized when I was 7 and obsessed with deserts.
i never even imagined the roots of a cacti before, or saw them.
and i have a bunch of them here!
I'd assumed it'd be more of a taproot situation, preferably with the appearance of another cactus upside down
