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.
The structure of an onion epidermal cell consists of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a large central vacuole. The function of an onion epidermal cell is to provide protection for the plant, regulate water and nutrient uptake, and help with gas exchange through stomata.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is the substance that helps promote mitosis in epidermal skin cells. EGF stimulates cell growth and division in the epidermis, aiding in the regeneration and repair of skin tissue.
Keratinocytes
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.
Desmosomes are the cell junctions that prevent epidermal cells from separating under tension. They form strong connections between neighboring cells by anchoring to the cell's cytoskeleton, providing structural stability to tissues exposed to mechanical stress.
A daffodil epidermal cell typically contains 14 chromosomes.

An epidermal dendritic cell.
The epidermal cell have cuticle (in plants) or chiten (in animals) on their outer tangential walls to perform protective function.
it is a thin layer that can be peeled out from an onion.
"skin"
The cell membrane is the semipermeable structure in an onion epidermal cell. It regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell, allowing only certain substances to pass through while restricting others.
Alternatively, in plants growing in dry habitats, the epidermal cell walls and cuticles are typically very thick. In pines (Pinus sp.) the epidermal cells of the needles have layers of secondary wall material that almost fill the cell cavity.
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 stratum basale, also known as the basal cell layer, is the epidermal region involved in rapid cell division. It is the deepest epidermal layer where actively dividing stem cells are found, giving rise to new keratinocytes that migrate toward the skin surface.
The normal chromosome number in a root epidermal cell of the same plant would also be 14. This is because both the egg cell and the root epidermal cell are part of the same plant organism, so they would have the same chromosome number.
