cuticle

The horny noncellular surface layer of many invertebrates such as insects; in botany, the waxy surface layer on those parts of plants that are exposed to the air, continuous except for stomata and lenticels. All types are secreted by the cells of the epidermis. A cuticle reduces water loss and, in arthropods, acts as an exoskeleton.
