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.

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."
