What else can I help you with?
How would you recognize the epidermis of a root versus the epidermis of a leaf?
The lower epidermal layer of leaf has many holes (stomata) in it and guard cells surrounding these holes. In the roots the epidermis has many root hairs growing out of it or regions of dead root hairs where over time the roots have grown longer and the old root hairs are no longer needed to capture water. In the upper epidermis of a leaf you would see palisade cells just beneath the epidermal layer and a waxy cuticle just above.
What is the outside tissue of a root called?
the inner layer ---> novanet
Is epidermis present in root hairs?
is epidrmis present in root hairs
What layer are root hair found?
epidermis
What two structures does water and minerals pass through to get to xylem?
Water and minerals pass through the root epidermis and root cortex cells to reach the xylem in plant roots. The root epidermis is the outermost layer of cells in the root, and the root cortex is a region of parenchyma cells between the epidermis and the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem).

Which are the single thread-like cells on the root epidermis?
Root hairs are the single thread-like cells that are found on the root epidermis. They increase the surface area of the root for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.

the inner layer ---> novanet
Which term describes the narrow band of epidermis attached to the surface of the nail just in front of the root?
lunula
Term describes the narrow band of epidermis attached to the surface of the nail just in front of the root?
lunula
What term describes the narrow band of epidermis attached to the surface of the nail just in front of the root?
cuticle
Is epidermis present in root hairs?
is epidrmis present in root hairs
What special structural characters does the root epidermis posses to perform these function?
The special structural character that the root epidermis possess is the root hairs which enables it perform its functions effectively.
What is a extensions of root epidermis cells that help absorb water?
Root hairs are extensions of root epidermis cells that help increase the surface area of the root for improved absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.
Epidermis is modified in a root by the addition of?
Stomata
What layer are root hair found?
epidermis
How does the epidermis of the root differ from the epidermis of the stem in structure and function?
"As you recall, epidermis (1) is the outermost cell layer of leaves, roots and stems. Unlike the root epidermis, stem and leaf epidermis contain stomata (more on stomata when we discuss photosynthesis). In many plants, leaf and stem epidermis is covered by a wax-like layer of cutin, which protects the plants from excessive water loss, and from pathogen attack."
