AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The outer layer of tissue surrounding the entire plant is called the epidermis, usually comprised of a single layer of epidermal cells which provide protection and have other specialized adaptations in different plant organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dermal tissue system-the epidermis-is the outer protective layer of the primary plant body (the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds).

Detailed explanation-3: -Dermal Tissue Epidermal cells secrete a waxy substance called cuticle, which coats, waterproofs, and protects the above-ground parts of plants. Cuticle helps prevent water loss, abrasions, infections, and damage from toxins. This tissue includes several types of specialized cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -epidermis, in botany, outermost, protoderm-derived layer of cells covering the stem, root, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed parts of a plant. The epidermis and its waxy cuticle provide a protective barrier against mechanical injury, water loss, and infection.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dermal tissue provides the outer covering of the plant. Ground tissue is responsible for photosynthesis; it also supports vascular tissue and may store water and sugars.
