it’s an Opuntia, probably prickly pear. you can cut off one of the pads and put it in soil after it callouses over.

Just try NOT to prop it! Whenever a piece falls off, it’ll root and make a new plant. We just continuously pick up any pieces that fall off our Opuntia and stick them wherever there’s a spot. Full paddle, half a paddle, paddle that’s mostly rotted through, even old fruit can root. We’ll leave them out for a couple days and then bury part of them.

I recommend you try the fruit it’s really tasty, be careful peeling it though please
As for propagating this one is extremely easy

I have an opuntia that lives year round in my front yard in Quebec. A few months under the snow and it doesn’t care.
