What are hydrophobic plants?
Hydrophobic plants are plants which have leaves which repel water. This causes the water tension to increase, so a sort of 'bubble' of water is formed on the leaf surface.
Why is the top of a leaf waxy?
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
Vascular plants are land plants that have roots stems and leaves.?
Perhaps. There are water plants however that have roots, stems, and leaves.
How does water help plants with no leaves?

What is the main way a plant gets water for its leaves?
The roots absorb the water from the soil and the stem takes the water to the leaves. But some plants can absorb water from their leaves during the rain.
What are broad leafs?

Underwater plants have long and thick leaves if they had big broad leaves?
Normally this would have to do with the origin and location of the plant. Long, thin leaves offer less resistance to water flow; these types of plants are normally found in fast, running water. Note: Not all underwater plants have narrow, thin leaves!
Why do the plants which grow in deserts have no leaves?
Most desert plants evolved according to their environment, an environment in which conservation of moisture is paramount. The broad surface of a leaf would transpire too much moisture away from the plant in the hot, dry desert, so "leaves" are an almost unseen feature of most desert plants.
Why do hyacinth and lotus have broad leaves?

What can enter the atmosphere from the leaves of plants in the process of?
osmosis or The Water Cycle: Transpiration- evaporation from the leaves of plants
What biome makes up broad leaves?
tropical is the best at it and deserts are in general against it, all the rest will have some broad leaves depending on how much water and how much sun they get
Why don't desert plants have leaves?
