The waxy transparent layer of leaves prevents water evaporation.
It prevents water evaporation
A waxy layer called the cuticle prevents water loss in leaves.
The outer surface of the leaf has a thin transparent waxy covering called the cuticle
Leaves have a waxy coating called a cuticle to prevent excess water loss through transpiration. Without this coating they would dry up. The waxy layer blocks the stomata preventing as much water evaporating from them
1. to keep warmth. 2. to keep the leaves from falling. 3. and to construct the shape of the conifers needle like.
This layer is called the epidermis. It is made of a waxy cuticle that prevents water loss and toxins from entering the plant.

The waxy transparent layer of leaves prevents water evaporation.
The waxy transparent layer of leaves prevents water evaporation.
Leaves have a waxy layer on top of their epidermis layer called the cuticle. This waxy surface protects the leaves from sunburn, dessication (drying out) and reduces attacks by fungi, bacteria, virus particles and insects.
A waxy layer called the cuticle prevents water loss in leaves.
cuticle
The outer surface of the leaf has a thin transparent waxy covering called the cuticle
The waxy coating on leaves, known as the cuticle, prevents the leaves from drying out too quickly.
Assuming you mean in plant life, it prevents dehydration through evaporation
It is called the Epidermis
Waxy layer on outer surface of green plants is called cuticle .This cuticle is actually present in outer cell walls of epidermal cells . The wax present in cuticle is a type of lipid . It is waterproof layer which prevents excessive loss of water by transpiration . It also protects plant from abrasive damage. Wax is chemically a mixture of esters of long chain fatty acids eg cerotic acid , montanic acid , long chain alkanes , alcohols , ketones .
