Answer:
TRICHOMES
Trichomes are epidermal protuberances located on aerial parts of plant, that protect plant from excess transpiration, high temperature, radiation, ultraviolet (UV) light, and herbivore attack (Wagner et al., 2004).
FUNCTIONS
Trichomes serve a variety of functions, depending on their location. As root hairs (and as leaf hairs in epiphytes), trichomes absorb water and minerals. As leaf hairs, they reflect radiation, lower plant temperature, and reduce water loss. They also provide defense against insects.
CHARACTERISTICS
Trichomes may be unicellular or multicellular. Morphologically, root hairs are typical hairs. 4. They are highly variable in shape varying from small protuberances of epidermal cells to very complex, multicellular, branched or stellate structures. ... Hairs with living cells contain very little cytoplasm in their cells.
