Explanation:
Waxy cover — Plants not only lose water through their pores, they also lose it through the cell walls on their leaves. The leaves and stems of many desert plants have a thick covering that is coated with a waxy substance, allowing them to seal in and protect what moisture they already have.

Answer:
A thick, waxy coating of cutin is present on the epidermis of desert plants. It helps in reducing the loss of water in desert plants. Suberin, which is also a chemical, is present in the walls of dead cork cells. It makes these cells impervious to gases and water.
