In effect, watercress is grown for the plant's leaves that are mainly used in the form of salad greens or dressings.

The Cuticle and the Stomata. The cuticle is a waxy, water-repellent layer that covers all of the above-ground areas of a plant. It is secreted by the epidermis, the outer layer of the plant, and covers up any holes or chinks between the cells. This waxy layer keeps all of the plant's valuable water inside where it belongs. However, while the cuticle closes up any areas where the plant could lose water, it also closes up any place that allows the plant to breathe. Remember, plants are the reverse of us; they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Plants rectified this problem through the creation of pores in the leaf called stomata.
