Which surface of the fern is shinier? Why?

Sagot :

The upper surface of the fern is more shinier than the lower surface.

The light-tolerant side of the leaf is also shiny, and this is because of a thick waxy cuticle. The shade-tolerant side of the leaf also has a cuticle but if we follow it logically, the light-tolerant side of the leaf needs more protection from heat evaporation because it's always being hit by light.
