hydrophytes do not have cuticle on stem or leave because they do not have any problem in obtaining water and cuticle is a water covering layer. Hence why they excrete out extra water by transpiration.

Grass is a mesophyte since it doesn't grow on water like hydrophytes nor can it handle extreme temperatures like xerophytes. Thats the reason why we have to water the lawns to keep it green!
The Waxy cuticle in a plant is situated above the upper epidermis. The waxy cuticle provides protection to the epidermis. But the main task of the waxy cuticle is to increase and decrease transpiration of water in a plant accordingly. The cuticle helps in cuticular transpiration of plants and sometimes you can find a shiny cuticle in a plant in order to reflect back the sunlight and prevent transpiration. Having a shiny cuticle is one of the adaptations of a plant to reduce transpiration. These are the 2 main functions of a cuticle.
plant roots posses root hairs which anchor the plant in soil and their major function is to absorb water and nutrients from soil. if there will be waxy cuticle on there epidermis it will be hard for roots to absorb nutrients and water from soil hence plant without water and nutrients will die.
Cuticle

To keep the moisture in the leaves or stem for longer also the waxy cuticle stops water from going in .
On the epidermis of leaf, stem and fruit wall etc.
Stomata.
Xerophytes are known for having stomata that are fewer in number, sunken, waxy and\or open only at night. Hydrophytes often lack cuticle, because there is no need to prevent water loss. stomata are larger in quantity and typically open.

.Broccoli is a stem veg.
The cuticle is the waxy waterproof layer on the leaves (it is thicker on the top, but there is also a thin layer underneath the leave), which prevents excessive water loss.
