Not all leaves have a waxy surface, but some do. Plant cuticles are a protective waxy covering produced only by the epidermal cells of leaves, young shoots and all other aerial plant organs without periderm.
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.
The waxy covering helps to prevent excessive water loss, and prevents the plant drying out.
