Why does water trickle off lotus leaves

Dear student,                                                                                                                                                                      
Please find below the solution to the asked query    
          
The surface of the lotus leaves is superhydrophobic and is covered with a waxy coating (cuticle). Such surface does not allow water that falls on them to stay. It rolls off the leaf surface.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
