ectoderm is the young epidermis, same with endoderm, it is the young gastrodermis.
Ectoderm
The epidermis of the skin develops from the ectoderm, which is one of the primary germ layers of the embryo. The ectoderm gives rise to various tissues and structures related to the skin, nervous system, and other epithelial tissues.
The skin is derived from the ectoderm germ layer during embryonic development. The ectoderm gives rise to the outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis, as well as structures such as hair, nails, and certain glands.
The skin originates from the ectoderm layer of the embryonic germ cells. During development, the ectoderm gives rise to the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and its appendages such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and nails.
The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers formed during early embryonic development. It gives rise to structures such as the skin, nervous system, and sensory organs. This layer plays a crucial role in the development of the brain, spinal cord, and epidermis.
Ectoderm cells will differentiate into various tissues and structures in the body, such as the epidermis (outer layer of skin), nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves), and structures like hair and nails.
The embryo layer that forms the skin and nervous tissue is the ectoderm. It gives rise to the epidermis of the skin, hair, nails, and the nervous system including the brain and spinal cord. The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers that develop during gastrulation in embryogenesis.

Nervous tissue is derived from the ectoderm germ layer during embryonic development.
Blastulation is when the cells move to form a hollow "ball". Gastrulation is when it bends upon itself to make 3 layers, called the endoderm, the mesoderm, and the ectoderm.
No, the ectoderm is not uniformly pigmented. Pigment distribution can vary within the ectoderm due to factors like genetic variation, exposure to sunlight, and presence of certain pigments like melanin.
