Vedclass · Answer

(A) Plant cuticles are protective waxy coverings produced by the epidermal cells of leaves,young shoots,and other aerial plant organs. Beyond acting as a permeability barrier for water and other molecules,the micro- and nanostructure of the cuticle provides specialized surface properties that prevent the contamination of plant tissues by external water,dirt,and microorganisms. The waxy layer of the cuticle also functions in defense by forming a physical barrier that resists penetration by virus particles,bacterial cells,and the spores or growing filaments of fungi. Therefore,a thicker cuticle provides enhanced resistance against pathogens,making the Assertion and Reason both correct,and the Reason serves as the correct explanation for the Assertion.
