Melanocytes, which produce melanin for skin pigmentation, are found in human epidermal cells but not in leaf epidermal cells. Additionally, human epidermal cells contain structures like Langerhans cells for immune response, which are not present in leaf epidermal cells.
The epidermal cells that can photosynthesize are primarily found in some plant species and are known as "chlorenchyma" cells. These specialized cells contain chloroplasts, allowing them to carry out photosynthesis, unlike typical epidermal cells that serve mainly for protection and regulation of gas exchange. In certain plants, such as succulents, epidermal layers can be adapted for photosynthesis, helping them maximize light absorption. This adaptation is particularly beneficial in environments where water conservation is crucial.

Merkel cells compose about 8% of the epidermal cells. These specialized cells are found in the deepest part of the epidermis and are involved in the sensation of touch.
An epidermal cell is a cell that is part of the outer layer of an organism. For example, in humans, skin cells are epidermal. Leaves on plants have epidermal layers on the top and bottom of the leaf.
stratum basale
No, epidermal cells do not have a secondary cell wall. The primary cell wall of epidermal cells is composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, providing support and protection to the cell. Secondary cell walls are found in specific types of cells, such as xylem cells in plants, for additional structural support.
epidermal tissue
Stomata are found in the epidermis of leaves, specifically in specialized cells called guard cells. Guard cells surround and control the opening and closing of the stomata to regulate gas exchange and water loss in plants.
It is called Keratinocyte, which is in the outermost layer of the epidermis.
In most plants, specialized epidermal cells that absorb water and minerals are primarily found in the root hairs. These root hairs increase the surface area of the roots, enhancing their ability to take up water and essential nutrients from the soil. They are essential for the plant's overall health and growth, as they facilitate the uptake of resources necessary for metabolic processes.
