Question

which chemical forms a thick waxy covering around the aerial parts of desert plants
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In deserts, water is scarce and saving water is essential for plant growing in such conditions.

In many of the desert plants like Yucca, creosote, cactus, etc, the epidermis has a thick waxy coating of cutin which acts as a waterproof covering.

This restricts the loss of water by transpiration.
