Desert plants have thick cuticles. The thick cuticles protects the plants from the harsh rays of sunlight and it helps them to conserve water so they can survive in such a hot climate.

Many plants found in the desert have a thick cuticle and only open their stomata at night. Why might these two adaptations be useful for desert plants?
