Detailed explanation-1: -Primary dermal tissues, called epidermis, make up the outer layer of all plant organs (e.g., stems, roots, leaves, flowers). They help deter excess water loss and invasion by insects and microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dermal tissue covers the plant and can be found on the outer layer of roots, stems and leaves. Its main functions are transpiration, gas exchange and defense.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dermal tissue usually consists of a single layer of tissues showing variations in the types of cells on the basis of their function and location. These tissues are divided into three different types. They are epidermis (outer most layer), (middle layer) and endodermis (innermost layer).
Detailed explanation-4: -The dermal tissue system-the epidermis-is the outer protective layer of the primary plant body (the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds). The epidermis is usually one cell layer thick, and its cells lack chloroplasts.
