please mark me down as brainlist

Explanation:

Epidermal cells on the aerial parts of the plant often secrete a waxy, water-resistant layer on their outer surface. This aids in protection against loss of water, mechanical injury and invasion by parasitic fungi. ... Transpiration (loss of water in the form of water vapour) also takes place through stomata.
