A cactolith is a type of geological formation that consists of a body of intrusive igneous rock, typically formed from magma that has crystallized beneath the Earth's surface. The term "cactolith" is derived from the Greek words "cacto," meaning "to prick," and "lith," meaning "rock." This term is often used in the context of geological studies to describe certain types of plutonic rock bodies.
