a waxy coating on a plant (apex)
Please note the term Cuticle is used interchangeably between human Anatomy to describe the area above the finger or toe nail, it is also used in Botany to describe the waxy covering of a leaf or thickened skin of fruit; additionally the term is used in Entomology to describe the covering of insects.
This answer relates to human Anatomy, please refer to the Related Question - What is a Plant cuticle for a Botanical definition.
Human Anatomy
The cuticle, or Eponychium (in a person) is the small area of skin above the finger- or toe-nail. It's what people sometimes bite, like the sides of their fingers. It is at the base where the nail connects to the actual finger. This skin is sensitive and delicate. It is a very thin layer of skin, and can be broken easily. Some people who bite their nails also tend to bite their cuticles. Despite being so small, they can bleed a LOT! It is important to keep up the condition of your cuticles. Many nails salons will do this (sometimes you might have to ask, though) when you get a mani or pedi done. This can be even done at home, because it just involves making sure the skin does not grow over the nail. That can cause some minor health problems, like irritation, slight pain, possible infection, or breaking of the skin. Cuticle health can either be maintained by trimming back the skin, or by pushing it back. This is most easily done when the skin is soft and moist, like after a hot shower or bath.

A cuticle is the often white colored skin that attaches the side of your nail to your finger. If the cuticle is dry it may easily peel and bleed.

it is the out side of round worm
Thin waxy covering on the surface of a leaf
The outer layer is the cuticle.
The cuticle I think
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 .

The cuticle is the waxy waterproof layer on the leaves (it is thicker on the top, but there is also a thin layer underneath the leave), which prevents excessive water loss.
