Let's think about this for a minute and you'll figure it out. Do they need to be protected from extreme temperature? Do they need something to keep water from evaporating too quickly and drying them out? Yes, so they'd need a thick protective cuticle.

What are the Adaptations for the plant Aloe?
The leaves are thick, fleshy and enlarged to accommodate aqueous tissue (tissue that store large volumes of water) that enables plant to thrive in low water conditions. able to utilize cam pathway,an adaptation to photosynthetic pathway in hot climate The gel in leaf pulp stores water and energy of plant
What does the waxy cuticle help the plants?
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.
what is the role of the cuticle?
to absorb and conserve water for the plant
