Lichens do not have a waxy cuticle like plants have on their leaves, nor do they have vascular tissue such as xylem and phloem to move nutrients and water around their thalli as a plant does. Everything in the lichen’s environment is absorbed into the lichen`s structure. Lichens get their water and nutrients from their surrounding environment via air and rain.
