Question

List any two reason why the epidermis is important for plants​

Answer 1

Answer:

Epidermis is the outermost layer of the plant body. It carries out functions as follows:

1. It covers the body from outside and protects from pathogen attack and atmosphere changes.  

2. It shows the presence of stomata (minute pore-like structure) on leaves. Stomata are involved in gaseous exchange (oxygen, carbon dioxide) with the atmosphere. It also shows the presence of lenticels on the woody stem for gaseous exchange. 

3. The stomata present on leaves are also involved in transpiration (water evaporation from plant body). Stomata are guarded by guard cells, which close and open the stomata as per requirement. Therefore, epidermis bearing stomata also check for water loss from the plant body. 

4. The epidermis is protected by cuticle at some parts of the tree and it helps to stop water loss by evaporation.
