In the dermis, on exposed body surfaces, where mechanical stress and dehydration are potential problems, apical layers of epithelial cells are packed with filaments of the protein keratin.

The keratin in these cells toughen the dermis and give it water resistance.

What is a vascular cylinder?

A vascular cylinder is in the center of as root, the cylinder is made up of both xylem and phloem tissue. The vascular cylinder is surrounded by ground tissue which is surrounded by dermal tissue. A plant will actually absorb a majority of it's water in the dermal tissue just above the root tips. The cells there have tiny projections called root hairs. The three types of plant tissue systems, vascular, ground, and dermal. The vascular tissue system is surrounded by the ground tissue system which is surrounded by the dermal tissue system.


What tissue systems make a plant body?

There are basically three tissue systems making a plant body:the dermal tissue,vascular tissue and the ground tissue. The dermal tissue is the outer protective covering of the plant, it is called the epidermis in non-woody plants. The vascular tissue transports material (water and nutrients) between roots and shoots.This tissue is composed of two conducting systems:xylem and the phloem. The xylem conveys water from roots to the shoots while the phloem conveys organic nutrients from where they are produced to where they are needed. The ground tissue makes up the bulk of the plant. It specializes in storage of material, photosynthesis and support. It consists of simple tissues called the parenchyma,collenchyma and sclerenchyma which helps it to function.
