Detailed explanation-1: -Dermal tissue of the stems and leaves is covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents evaporative water loss.
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: -Most of plant dermal tissue is composed of pavement cells, tightly packed cells that make up the protective layer. This tissue also contains specialized components that aid in protection and transpiration. These components include but are not limited to: the cuticle, guard cells, stomata, trichomes, and root hairs.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
