hydrophytes do not have cuticle on stem or leave because they do not have any problem in obtaining water and cuticle is a water covering layer. Hence why they excrete out extra water by transpiration.

plant roots posses root hairs which anchor the plant in soil and their major function is to absorb water and nutrients from soil. if there will be waxy cuticle on there epidermis it will be hard for roots to absorb nutrients and water from soil hence plant without water and nutrients will die.
The external parts of a stem include the epidermis (outermost layer), the cortex (region beneath the epidermis), vascular bundles (tissue that transports water and nutrients), and the cuticle (waxy layer that helps prevent water loss).
Hydrophytes are plants that grow in water or very moist ground. It is also an aquatic plant.Examples:Wolfia, Pistia, Lemna, Duck weed, Lotus[ScarletShiChan]

Hydrophytes have adaptive features such as presence of air spaces in tissues for buoyancy, reduced cuticle to facilitate gas exchange, and specialized root systems for anchorage and nutrient uptake in waterlogged conditions. Additionally, hydrophytes may have flexible stems and leaves to reduce water resistance and adaptations for efficient water and nutrient uptake.
The cuticle on the stem acts as a protective barrier, helping to prevent water loss and reduce the risk of pathogen entry. It also provides some degree of protection against herbivores and helps to regulate gas exchange through stomata. Additionally, the cuticle can affect the stem's appearance by giving it a glossy or matte finish.

Hydrophytes are plants that are adapted to thrive in aquatic environments, such as freshwater and marine habitats. These adaptations include specialized structures like aerenchyma for buoyancy, reduced root systems, and leaves that can float or are submerged. Additionally, hydrophytes often have a waxy cuticle that minimizes water loss, and some possess the ability to regulate gas exchange efficiently in water. Overall, these adaptations enable hydrophytes to survive and grow in conditions that would be challenging for terrestrial plants.
Stomata.
Xerophytes are known for having stomata that are fewer in number, sunken, waxy and\or open only at night. Hydrophytes often lack cuticle, because there is no need to prevent water loss. stomata are larger in quantity and typically open.

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.
