Question

What is the function of cuticle and leaf spines​

Answer 1

$\large\bf\underline\red{AnSwEr:}$

In hot climates, plants such as cacti have leaves that are reduced to spines, which in combination with their succulent stems, help to conserve water. Many aquatic plants have leaves with wide lamina that can float on the surface of the water, and a thick waxy cuticle on the leaf surface that repels water.
