Picture 22 - This picture was taken at my grandma's house. It is a picture of the cuticle layer of a plant. The cuticle layer of a plant is a waxy coating that helps prevent desiccation which is plants losing water to air.
Picture 22 - This is also another plant that belongs to my grandma. Unlike their freshwater ancestors, most land plants have only limited amounts of water available. As an adaptation to living on land plants developed this cuticle layer.
