Answer 2

Function of epidermis:-

• Exterior cover, protects from parasitic invasions, separates inner part from exterior environment.
• Epidermis in trees contain suberin which makes it impervious to water and gases.
• Helps to carry transpiration through stomata, which also helps in exchange of gases in leaves.
• Epidermis in roots help in increasing surface area to absorb water.
• Epidermis (cuticle) in desert plants contain cutin which reduces transpiration (as soil lacks ample water required by the plant).
