To help keep the water inside and to keep bactriea and microbes off the plant.
Rainforest plants have waxy leaves to help prevent water loss through transpiration. The waxy coating helps to retain moisture in the leaves, especially in the humid and wet conditions of the rainforest. This adaptation allows the plants to thrive in their environment by conserving water.
Mostly plants and animals have waxy layers as an adaptation to specific environmental conditions. The waxy layers also protect from infection of microbes.
To avoid transpiration ( loss of water)
Not all leaves have a waxy surface, but some do. Plant cuticles are a protective waxy covering produced only by the epidermal cells of leaves, young shoots and all other aerial plant organs without periderm.
The waxy layer on the surface of land plants is called the cuticle. It helps prevent water loss by acting as a barrier to limit transpiration and protect against environmental stressors, allowing plants to survive on land.
The desert biome typically has spiny plants with waxy cuticles to reduce water loss and protect themselves from herbivores. These adaptations help the plants survive the arid conditions of the desert by conserving water and deterring predators.
The waxy waterproof layer that cover most plant leaves and stems is called a cuticle. The cuticle is thicker on the upper half of a leaf's surface, and it is waterproof so as the internal areas of the leaf are kept secure from flooding, That's why you water plants at the roots.
The leaves of water hyacinth are smooth and waxy, with a slightly glossy texture.
The waxy coat helps to reduce water loss from the leaves.

Not all leaves have a waxy surface, but some do. Plant cuticles are a protective waxy covering produced only by the epidermal cells of leaves, young shoots and all other aerial plant organs without periderm.
The rainforest plants have big flat leaves so they can absorp lots of water.The desert plants don't have big flat leaves.
Plants with a waxy layer on their leaves include succulents like cacti and jade plants, as well as plants with glossy leaves like Ficus elastica (rubber plant) and Monstera. Plants with a palisade layer in their leaves include most broadleaf evergreen trees, such as oak, maple, and holly.
A waxy,waterproof texture that covers the leaves of most plants to hold it water.
Yes, croton leaves are waxy to some degree.
The waxy layer on the surface of land plants is called the cuticle. It helps prevent water loss by acting as a barrier to limit transpiration and protect against environmental stressors, allowing plants to survive on land.
