Where is the month, day and year string stored in a plot with a datetime axis which shows hours and minutes in the xticklabel string?

A somewhat specific question which I cannot find the answer for.
Suppose I have some random data measured at different times which I want to plot:
t1 = datetime('2023-04-01 04:00:00');
t2 = datetime('2023-04-01 12:00:00');
t = t1:seconds:t2;
data = rand(length(t),1);
plot(t,data,'.');
ax = gca;
This results in the following plot:
As you can see, this plot results in x tick labels as strings with hours and minutes. But in the bottom right hand corner of the plot, there is also an additional string showing the month, day and year.
Question: Where is this string stored and can it be edited?
I can't find it anywhere in the ax structure variable. The ax.XTickLabel only contains strings with hours and minutes:
>> ax.XTickLabel
ans =
9×1 cell array
{'04:00'}
{'05:00'}
{'06:00'}
{'07:00'}
{'08:00'}
{'09:00'}
{'10:00'}
{'11:00'}
{'12:00'}
I want to edit and customize this string, change its format, (or perhaps get rid of it entirely).
Any help is appreciated.

I marked @Star Strider's answer as the accepted. Yours doesn't quite do what I was hoping for. Still wondering if there's a workaround to Star Strider's answer for pre-2023b. Cheers.

@Darcy Cordell, check this.
You can use datetick for that -
t1 = datetime('2023-04-01 04:00:00');
%I've changed the time
t2 = datetime('2023-04-01 05:00:00');
t = t1:seconds:t2;
data = rand(length(t),1);
plot(t,data,'.');
%Use datetick with the 15th Format Identifier, which corresponds to HH:MM
datetick('x', 15);

If you have R2023b, you can use the recently introduced xsecondarylabel function —
t1 = datetime('2023-04-01 04:00:00');
t2 = datetime('2023-04-01 12:00:00');
t = t1:seconds:t2;
data = rand(length(t),1);
plot(t,data,'.');
ax = gca;
xsecondarylabel(Visible="off") % New In R2023b
.

The only option I can think of is to create a separate cell array of strings using the original cell array of 'XTickLabel' cell array of strings —
t1 = datetime('2023-04-01 04:00:00');
t2 = datetime('2023-04-01 12:00:00');
t = t1:seconds:t2;
data = rand(length(t),1);
figure
plot(t,data,'.');
title('Original')
figure
plot(t,data,'.');
ax = gca;
% get(ax)
xtl = ax.XTickLabel;
ax.XTickLabel = [];
ax.XTickLabel = xtl;
title('Original, Omitting ‘xsecondarylabel’ Without Using That Function')
That works here, as written, however you will need to try it to be certain that it works in your version.
Other variations (using dates instead of only times) might need a few other tweaks to make this approach work. I did not explore that.
If you want to recover the date information to use in a title or some other location, it can be recovered easily from the returned values in:
xt = ax.XTick
since that information remains even after the 'XTickLabel' values are changed. (I checked to be sure.)
