how transpiration occurs in the presence of cuticle layer (on leaf to prevent loss of water)?
Dear student.
Cuticle is not a smooth and continuous layer. There are minute pores and breaks present on the cuticle, through which diffusion of water takes place. As a result of injury or damage, breaks may take place in cuticle. Transpiration may also occur through those breaks.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
