Cutin is one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle, which covers all aerial surfaces of plants. The other major cuticle polymer is cutan, which is much more readily preserved in the fossil record, Cutin consists of omega hydroxy acids and their derivatives, which are interlinked via ester bonds, forming a polyester polymer of indeterminate size.
There are two major monomer families of cutin, the C16 and C18 families. The C16 family consists mainly of 16-hydroxy palmitic acid and 9,16- or 10,16-dihydroxypalmitic acid. The C18 family consists mainly of 18-hydroxy oleic acid, 9,10-epoxy-18-hydroxy stearic acid, and 9,10,18-trihydroxystearate.
Hope this helps.

bt what iz the final answrr
Your question is just like asking what is the color of clothes? Just as clothes come in a variety of colors, Cutin extracted from different plants vary. Re-read the answer and choose one of the names of the monomers of Cutin and I'll try to tell you it's formula. Just like asking what is the color of denim, so that I can say, it's blue.
