Here's your answer friend!
The main difference between epidermis and epithelium is that epidermis is the outermost protective layer of the skin of animals whereas epithelium is one of the four types of tissues in the animal body, which lines the internal and external surfaces of the body. Furthermore, the epidermis is a type of epithelial tissue, primarily responsible for protection, while epithelium covers parts of the body, providing protection. Moreover, the epithelium is responsible for secretion and absorption.
Epidermis and epithelium are two anatomical structures which cover the body, providing protection.
