The cuticle I think
The Waxy cuticle in a plant is situated above the upper epidermis. The waxy cuticle provides protection to the epidermis. But the main task of the waxy cuticle is to increase and decrease transpiration of water in a plant accordingly. The cuticle helps in cuticular transpiration of plants and sometimes you can find a shiny cuticle in a plant in order to reflect back the sunlight and prevent transpiration. Having a shiny cuticle is one of the adaptations of a plant to reduce transpiration. These are the 2 main functions of a cuticle.
