A trichome is a fine outgrowth or hair-like structure on a plant. It can be glandular or non-glandular and can serve various functions such as protecting against herbivores or reducing water loss. A prickle, on the other hand, is a sharp-pointed structure that arises from the plant's epidermis, often lacking vascular tissue and being more abrasive than trichomes.
Trichomes are small hair-like outgrowths found on the surface of plants, used for protection or secretion. Filaments are thread-like structures, typically referring to the slender stalk that supports the anther in a flower, allowing for the dispersal of pollen.
Modified leaf or stipules
Stratum Basale. The cells in the Stratum Spinosum are spiny shaped and are called prickle cells. These arise during tissue preparation when the cells shrink.
There are normally three cells within a plant hair but usually, the number of cells depend on the size and the height of the plant hair. Sometimes, there are six cells in a mature hair.
The sticky hairy part of a plant is called the trichome. Trichomes can help protect the plant from predators, reduce water loss, and aid in trapping insects for pollination or capturing prey.
The stalks of the trichome are septate. The trichomes (pubescences) that often cover the plant body are the result of divisions of epidermal cells.
A prickle is a group of porcupines.
An acantha is a prickle in botany, or an animal's spine or prickle.
