Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The waxy coating is lipid types of organic molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: The waxy covering on plant leaves, young stems, and fruit is called the “cuticle". It is composed of cutin, a wax-like material produced by the plant that is chemically a hydroxy fatty acid. The purpose of this covering is to help the plant retain water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abscisic acid (ABA) is the most important hormone for plants to resist drought and other abiotic stresses.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many plants have waxy coatings on some surfaces. This coating reduces water loss because it is not water-permeable.
Detailed explanation-5: -The lotus leaves have nanostructures on their surfaces. These nanostructures are coated with hydrophobic wax crystals approximately 1 nm in diameter. This makes the surface at the nanoscale quite rough.
