Question 1 Report

Pond weeds normally lack thick layers of cuticle because
Answer Details
Pond weeds normally lack thick layers of cuticle because there is no danger of becoming desiccated. Cuticle is a waxy layer covering the surface of leaves and other parts of plants to prevent excessive water loss. Pond weeds are submerged in water, so they are not exposed to air and do not need to conserve water like land plants. Therefore, they do not need to develop a thick cuticle layer.
