What is the waxy coating on the surfaces of plants?
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 .
