So, is agave a cactus? Well, the straight answer to this question is, no. Why? Well, because agave belongs to a complete different family. Thought, both agaves and cacti have adapted themselves to withstand the harsh desert conditions, they have a different appearance and characteristics.

Agaves have a large and pointy leaves that mostly have a slender appearance. Cacti, on the other hand, may be circular or elongated in shape, and have spines all over.
Another trait that sets agaves apart from cacti is their slow growth pattern. They also bloom just once in their lifetime. Cacti come in both slow and faster varieties, and many of them may show patterns of continuous growth.
When it comes to roots, agaves have a shallow root system that goes extensively in the ground. Cacti’s roots penetrate deeper into the soil for moisture, which enables them to go for a longer duration without water, as compared to agaves.
