The epidermis cell is located on the outer layers of a leaf. It is protected by a wax-like layer.
The cuticle layer of leaf cells is covered in wax. Wax helps to protect the leaf from excess water loss and damage from environmental factors such as UV light. It also gives leaves a glossy appearance.
The wax surface is there to reduce water loss from the stem and leaves, and also helps protect or reduce insect attack.
The wax on the leaves prevents decomposition of the leaf.
Pine trees have needle shaped leaves but Holly leaves are naturally coated with wax.
The wax coating on water lily leaves helps repel water and prevents excess water loss through evaporation. This adaptation is important for water lilies, as they primarily grow in aquatic environments and need to conserve water to survive. The wax also provides protection against potential threats like pests and diseases.

The ipil-ipil leaves are high in protein, and when they are juiced or squeezed into a pulp the protein can be added to paraffin wax for use on floors. Studies have shown that a floor wax made with the juice from ipil-ipil leaves is comparable to a commercial wax.
The wax covering on leaves is called cuticle. It helps to prevent water loss and protect the leaf from damage.
Leaves are part of plants and plants have cells so leaves also have cells.

Ceruminous gland cells in the ear canal produce ear wax, which is a combination of secretions from these cells and oil glands. These glands do not contain any specific organelles unique to ear wax production.
