Answer:
The waxy leaves help to reduce transpiration. In the harsh conditions of the deserts, the temperature is very high and doesn't support a dense population. During the day, it's very hot and the transpiration level is high, waxy leaves help in reducing transpiration thus helping the plant to survive.
