Answer:

Stomata

Cuticle xylem

Step-by-step explanation:

Most terrestrial plants (both bryophytes and tracheophytes) share some general structural and functional features. Land plants also share certain more specific adaptations that are essential to survival out of water. These include an impermeable waxy cuticle on the outer aerial surfaces, jacket cells around the reproductive organs, and stomata that allow gas exchange without risking excessive water loss.
