Epidermis, in botany, outermost, protoderm-derived layer of cells covering the stem, root, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed parts of a plant. The epidermis and its waxy cuticle provide a protective barrier against mechanical injury, water loss, and infection.

Is the epidermis dead?
Dead Epidermis refers to dead upper skin layers in humans and animals. The skin has two layers, the Epidermis (which is on the very surface) and the much thicker Dermis, which lies below and forms the main body of skin. Every so often, parts of the epidermis die and flake off, to be replaced by a new one that grows to take it's place. This is to keep the skin clean, and get rid of harmful bacteria that get trapped in the Epidermis.
