It helps to balance the amount of water plants take in. If there is too much water in the plant leaves will let some water out through the tiny holes on their underside. Plants in dry places may have leaves with waxy or fuzzy coatings to help keep water in. A plants leaves may also help to protect the plant from being eaten. Leaves might be poisonous sharp or tough to chew. Hungry animals will leave the plant alone.
