Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cuticle is a waxy layer secreted by the epidermis on the two surfaces of the leaf. It serves to prevent evaporation of water from the leaf surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cuticle – The cuticle is the waxy layer present on all above-ground tissue of a plant and serves as a barrier to water movement out of a leaf. Because the cuticle is made of wax, it is very hydrophobic or ‘water-repelling’; therefore, water does not move through it very easily.
