Answer:

e. ​cutin

Explanation:

Plant exhibit many variations to withstand the temperature variations, desiccation and increased UV exposure which are some of the factors associated with land habitat. Cutin is a waxy substance that is found in the outer walls of the epidermal cells of plants. Cuticle in plants serves to make the outer most covering of aerial parts of the leaves and non-woody stem of herbaceous plants. The cuticle is made of cutin.

Cutin serves to protect the plant’s aerial surfaces from excess water loss. It also filters the excess UV light and thereby protects the underlying plant parts. The thickness of the cuticle varies in different plants depending upon the environmental conditions. The leaves of plants adapted to hot, dry climates have thick cuticles. The thickness of the cutin layer also varies in different parts of a plant. For example, the upper epidermis of leaf generally has a thicker cuticle than the shaded and relatively cooler lower epidermis.

Different kinds of ecosystems like savanna, prairie, coniferous forests and chaparral have originated by the contribution of the fire, which plays an essential role in the renewal and vitality of the habitat. Different kind of plant species needs the assistance of fire to establish, to reproduce, or to germinate. In case, if the suppression of wildfire takes place, it will eventually result in the eradication of various plant species and the animals that rely upon them.
