The organic compound that provides a waterproof covering is cutin, which is a waxy substance found in the cell walls of plants. This compound helps prevent water loss by forming a protective barrier on the surfaces of leaves, stems, and fruits. Additionally, waxes, which are long-chain fatty acids, also contribute to the waterproofing properties of plant surfaces.
