Protective tissue covers the surface of leaves and the living cells of roots and stems. Its cells are flattened with their top and bottom surfaces parallel. The upper and lower epidermis of the leaf are examples of protective tissue.
The epidermis is
considered a protective tissue because its prime purpose is to form a physical barrier between the outside and inside of the body. On the top stratum (layer) of the epidermis, the cells are dead, and so have no physiological function besides to form a barricade against the outside.

A protective tissue is that tissue that is supposed to form layers of it to safeguard the underlying delicate organs .
Epidermis is the outermost tissue of a plant and has zero intercellular space . It’s called a protective tissue as it prevents the bacteria from entering the plant . Also doe to its rigidity it protects the underlying delicate palisade cells ,etc.
