Explanation:
Small pores, called stomata, are present on the leaf, and help in the exchange of gases and water. Epidermal cells on the aerial parts of the plant secrete a waxy, water-resistant layer on their outer surface. It checks the loss of water, mechanical injury and invasion by parasitic fungi.
