Answer:
When you think of the parts of a plant, the leaves, stem, and flowers probably come to mind. Trees may bring to mind a trunk, branches, and leaves or needles. However, would you think of skin as a part of a plant? Probably not.
Skin is clearly an important and well-known part of a person or animal. But surprisingly, plants have an outer layer known as dermal tissue that is essentially their skin. This layer is also known as the epidermis, which you may notice has the same name as our very own outer layer.
Dermal tissue is found covering the younger primary parts of a plant. These include leaves, roots, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds. Plant parts that become woody no longer have dermal tissue as their outer layer because it is replaced by periderm, or cork. Just as our own skin serves to protect our bodies, the dermal layer of a plant has the same function. We will discuss this a little later.
