Answer:
cells together form a tissue.
A meristem is comprised of indeterminate, actively dividing cells that give rise to differentiated tissues such as epidermis, trichomes, phellem, and vascular tissues. The meristem (also called meristematic tissue) is responsible for the growth of plants.
The dermal tissue system protects the soft tissues of plants and controls interactions with the plants' surroundings. The epidermis is a dermal tissue that is usually a single layer of cells covering the younger parts of a plant. It secretes a waxy layer called the cuticle that inhibits water loss.
☞︎︎︎ Tissue ☜︎︎︎
➪ A tissue is a group of cells, in close proximity, organized to perform one or more specific functions.
☞︎︎︎ Meristematic Tissue ☜︎︎︎
➪ Meristematic tissues refers to the living tissues containing undifferentiated cells that are the building blocks of all specialized plant structures. In essence, the cells within the meristematic tissues are what allow a plant to increase its length and girth.
☞︎︎︎ Dermal Tissue ☜︎︎︎
➪ Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of herbaceous plants. Dermal tissue is composed of epidermal cells, closely packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle that aids in the prevention of water loss
