Cacti grow in the desert, which is a very hot climate. Not the best for both gaining and maintaining water supplies, due to the fact that water becomes vapour very quickly in conditions such as a desert (unless we're talking about polar deserts).
Keeping their stomata closed during the day stops water vapour from escaping their cells. While this does inhibit growth and stop new water molecules from entering, it allows the cactus to maintain a healthy amount of water within itself.
Everything explodes without it. One sentence :)

Energy in ecosystems must be continuously supplied by the sun as the warmth from the sun allows plants to grow plus photosynthesis depends on the sun's energy also. Animals also depend on the sun for warmth to survive (or else hibernate). Also, the sun powers the water cycle, the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle
Nervous tissue. Hope this helps!
