Reduces Water Loss. A primary function of the leafâs waxy cuticle is to reduce water loss through the leaves, which is particularly important in arid deserts with little rainfall or Mediterranean climates with seasonal rainfall.rotects Photosynthetic Cells. Leaves are the primary photosynthetic organ of a plant, so the cuticle must not seal them permanently. If it did, it would disallow the gas exchange necessary for photosynthesis. This is one reason the cuticleâs adaptation of teamwork with the stomata is important.
The cuticle also works with the stomata to help complete photosynthesis. After the stomata open and carbon dioxide enters the leaf, the cuticle protects the mesophyll layer, which contains the photosynthetic cells that receive and process the carbon dioxide to manufacture glucose. The cuticle is translucent, so it does not block the sunâs rays from reaching the photosynthetic cells.
