so that the leaves wouldnt be all soaked up with the water, and sink as they have short stems (their pretty small as well compared to partially submerged plants) they will eventually die due to insufficient amount of food (taller plants block the sunlight) and also will have too much water. they will die also due to overcrowding, this also occurs on land plants because the parent plant will get more sunlight and the young plants have to compete with them. in the water, too much floating or partially submerged plants will start to block eachother from the sunlight, depending on which grows more. they also completely block sunlight from the submerged plants down there.

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
What plants of the desert have a waxy coating?
A few desert plants have a waxy coating that helps protect them from the heat and dry air of the dessert. These plants include some varieties of Yucca trees, Creosote and Beavertail Cactus. The waxy coating blocks the plants pores, trapping the moisture inside to prevent them from drying out.

Why hydrocarbons are coated on cabbage leaves?
Many plants have a waxy (hydrocarbon) coating. In some cases this appears to inhibit the loss of water. We can polish an apple, because we smooth out the waxy coating on its skin. With apples, it appears that the storage life of the apple is influenced by this coating. No doubt cabbages have a similar strategy.
