Why is cuticle a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae?

The cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not in algae because: in order for plants to live on land, they need a cuticle to prevent water loss during dry climates. Algae live in the water, therefore they don't need a cuticle to survive. They use their adaptations to absorb the water and nutrients around their watery environments. Source: My straight "A" brain

Why don't plants that live around water have a cuticle?

Plants that live around water, such as aquatic plants, do not need a thick cuticle because they do not face the same challenges of water loss as land plants. The aquatic environment provides constant access to water, so these plants have evolved to prioritize other adaptations, like increased surface area for gas exchange.
