The epidermis of most plants is made of transparent cells that allow light into the mesophyll cells below them, which contain chloroplasts and are the site of photosynthesis. Additionally, the epidermis contains stomata, which are pores that allow for the exchange of gases with the atmosphere. This lets the plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, as well as allowing for transpiration (evaporation), which ultimately helps to move water into leaves. Waters is also needed for photosynthesis.

Is upper epidermis specialized for photosynthesis?

No, the upper epidermis of a leaf is not specialized for photosynthesis. Its main function is to protect the underlying mesophyll tissue and help reduce water loss through the leaf surface. Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the mesophyll cells located below the upper epidermis.
