Answer 1

$\huge{\green}\fcolorbox{blue}{cyan}{\underline{\color{p}{Answer}}}$

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. Unlike the stem and leaves, the root epidermis is not covered by a waxy cuticle which would prevent absorption of water.
