HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of dermal tissue is to protect the plant, control the exchange of water vapor and gasses, and aid in absorption.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dermal tissue covers and protects the plant, and controls gas exchange and water absorption (in roots). Dermal tissue of the stems and leaves is covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents evaporative water loss. Stomata are specialized pores that allow gas exchange through holes in the cuticle.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The vascular tissues are of two kinds: water-transporting xylem and food-transporting phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dermal tissue is the tissue that protects the soft tissues of plants and controls interactions with the plants’ surroundings. The dermal tissue consists of epidermis and periderm. Vascular tissues are tissues involved in transportation. It mainly consists of xylem and phloem.

Detailed explanation-5: -The epidermal layer not only protects us from environmental pathogens but also acts as a ‘barrier’ to water loss.
