The two structures in plants that have a similar function to skin in preventing water loss are the **cuticle and stomata**.
- The **cuticle** is a waxy layer that covers the surface of the leaves and stems, helping to reduce water loss by evaporation.
- **Stomata** are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange; they can open and close to regulate water loss and gas exchange.
Together, they help manage water retention in plants, much like how skin functions in humans.
